“Trainspotting” meets “Requiem for a Dream” in this gritty, literary thriller.
A chillingly perceptive story about the drug wave that swept over Finland during the recession of 1990s and its veterans.
The life of a man who has succeeded in breaking free from drug circles is shaken up when he hears news of his little sister, who disappeared decades ago. Will the painful memories drag him back to the ruthless drug world of an industrial city, or will he manage to hold on to the new life he has worked so hard to build?
The novel, which takes place in two time frames, is an arrestingly realistic deep dive into the world of addiction, the shadows of our society, and the stages of drug policy from the 1990s to the present day.
