1998. Varg Veum sits by the hospital bedside of his long-term girlfriend Karin, whose life-threatening injuries provide a deeply painful reminder of the mistakes he’s made. Investigating the seemingly innocent disappearance of a wind-farm inspector, Varg Veum is thrust into one of the most challenging cases of his career, riddled with conflicts, environmental terrorism, religious fanaticism, unsolved mysteries and dubious business ethics. Then, in one of the most heart-stopping scenes in crime fiction, the first body appears…
A chilling, timeless story of love, revenge and desire, We Shall Inherit the Wind deftly weaves contemporary issues with a stunning plot that will leave you gripped to the final page. This is Staalesen at his most thrilling, thought-provoking best.
"The characters in the book are drawn with more nuances and more psychological insight than in most crime novels … there is generally something Ibsenian about this detective novel in which past sins play such an important part in the present" --Bergens Tidende"Gunnar Staalesen is one of my very favourite Scandinavian authors. Operating out of Bergen in Norway, his private eye, Varg Veum, is a complex but engaging anti-hero. Varg means “wolf” in Norwegian, and this is a series with very sharp teeth" --Ian Rankin
"A Norwegian Chandler" --Jo Nesbo
"Gunnar Staalesen was writing suspenseful and socially conscious Nordic Noir long before any of today’s Swedish crime writers had managed to put together a single book page … one of Norway’s most skilful storyteller" --Johan Theorin
"Razor-edged Scandinavian crime fiction at its finest" --Quentin Bates
"Not many books hook you in the first chapter - this one did, and never let go!" --Mari Hannah
"One of the finest Nordic novelists in the tradition of Henning Mankell" --Barry Forshaw, Independent
"Staalesen’s mastery of pacing enables him to develop his characters in a leisurely way without sacrificing tension and suspense" --Publishers Weekly
"The Varg Veum series stands alongside Connelly, Camilleri and others, who are among the very best modern exponents of the poetic-yet-tough detective story, with strong, classic plots; a social consience; and perfect pitch in terms of sense of place" --EuroCrime
"Norway’s bestselling crime writer" --The Guardian
"An upmarket Philip Marlowe" --Maxim Jakubowski, The Bookseller
"In the best tradition of sleuthery" --The Times

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Unbelievably good! Best I've read in ages! By Big reader This is an extraordinary crime novel, and one of Gunnar Staalesen's later books. Only a handful have been translated into English, which is disappointing because I don't think I've read a crime novel of such distinction for a while. Hats off to the translator, Don Bartlett. The story starts with Varg Veum (which means Lone Wolf in Norwegian) sitting by the side of his fiancee's bed. She may be dying, and it may be his fault. We are then thrust back to the events that led up to this, and into a mystery that includes eco-warriors fighting their ground for wind turbines to be established on a particular island (and, it seems, a bit of corporate power behind them), those who oppose (who are suspicious as well) and then another mystery - a disappearance of man who might or not be involved. There is a scene here (which I am guessing the blurb refers to) that will blow your mind! This is a seriously good read, and a page-turner. At no point is there any suggestion that this is a 'translation'. Classic Nordic Noir. In fact, BRILLIANT!

By Postcard Reviews Varg. in Norwegian means Wolf.... and this book has bite.From the first chapter, it is riveting. Karin is lying in hospital. Her sister is missing and her family are beside themselves.Lea is also missing, presumed drowned. With bouts of depression and post-natal-depression it is thought that she committed suicide. Then a body turns up in the most horrific way, it really makes your head spin.Missing people, wind farms and murder make We Shall Inherit the Wind a spectacular read. It is a marvelous Norwegian translation and is vividly descriptive.We Shall Inherit the Wind has suspense, tragedy and the plot is one that I have not come across before. Eco-warriors, conflict and religion is the order of the day and the story goes at an accelerating pace, This magnetic, stimulating and completely immersive read makes it hard to put down.

Book Review: We Shall Inherit the Wind (Varg Veum #1) by Gunnar Staalesen By Marina Not so long time ago, I watched tv series that I really liked with the main character, Varg Veum. I had no idea that those series were made after book series. I recently bought a book from the Nordic noir section, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the main character was a private investigator named Varg Veum.I am a great fan of Scandinavian crime noir and shame on me, I haven't read anything from Gunnar Staalensen before. This is my first book from this author, but certainly won't be the last.On a small island in Norway, Mons Mæland has been reported missing. His second wife is an old friend of Veum's long-term girlfriend and she asks her for a favor. Veum is a private investigator who can do some investigation and find out what might have happened to the old man who spends a lot of time away from home and might not be missing at all. The life of Mons Mæland is surrounded with mystery. His first wife also is missing. She disappeared many years ago, she was claimed dead after a while, even if the body was never found. In the present, there is a fight for the windmills on the island between the father and the son in the Mæland family. Mons wanted them away while the son thought that windmills were the future of the island. Could his disappearance has something to do with the wind?There are not many people who live on the island. A small village full of ordinary people with ordinary problems. Gossips are definitely not lacking. Some people are too conservative, some are trying to escape from their ordinary life and live their dreams. Everything seems normal for a village full of fishermen, but under the surface, things are far from normal.Varg Veum is true crime noir character. His name means „lone wolf“, it definitely suits him. He starts the story while sitting in the hospital next to the woman he loves who's dying. Then he transfers the reader back to the time when it all started. He retells the things from his own point of view, to end the story back in the present, next to the bed of his loved one who is dying. He never uses weapon or violence, just his mind, a mind that never settles down even when things seem over. Because the detective inside knows when it's over. He hardly shows his feelings, he looks solid as a rock, but he suffers from inside. His sense for justice is stronger than anything else, he is unstoppable until he collects all the pieces in the puzzle.Gunnar Staalesen is a real storyteller and I'll be in search of his other books in the future. His storytelling is slow but contagious and very, very unpredictable. Once you start, you can not put the book down. Perfect read for fans of old-fashioned whodunit!
