A desperate father's Christmas promise sparks a wild Finnish road trip involving an antique sofa, unexpected passengers and danger … A darkly humorous and warmly touching suspense novel about friendship, love and death, The Winter Job flies at 120 kilometres an hour straight into the darkest heart of a Finnish winter night.
'Another wonderfully lean slice of European noir by one of its finest exponents. As darkly fun as any Coen brothers' - offering' - Vaseem Khan
'The king of the humorous crime caper' - Abir Mukherjee
'It may seem hard to find good comic crime-writers, but clearly we haven't been looking in Finland' - Telegraph
The NEW standalone darkly funny, poignant and uber-tense thriller from 'The funniest writer in Europe' (The Times)
Fargo meets Carl Hiassen and Fredrik Backman … via the Coen Brothers
Sofas, secrets and a snowbound road to trouble…
Helsinki, 1982. Recently divorced postal worker Ilmari Nieminen has promised his daughter a piano for Christmas, but with six days to go – and no money – he's desperate.
A last-minute job offers a solution: transport a valuable antique sofa to Kilpisjärvi, the northernmost town in Finland.
With the sofa secured in the back of his van, Ilmari stops at a gas station, and an old friend turns up, offering to fix his faulty wipers, on the condition that he tags along. Soon after, a persistent Saab 96 appears in the rearview mirror. And then a bright-yellow Lada.
That's when Ilmari realises that he is transporting something truly special.
And that's when Ilmari realises he might be in serious trouble…
A darkly funny and unexpectedly moving thriller about friendship, love and death – The Winter Job tears through the frozen landscape of northern Finland in a beat-up van with bad steering, worse timing, and everything to lose…
