Description
'A powerful real-life story'
Guardian An epic crime thriller for fans of Jo Nesbo, The Father is inspired by the extraordinary true story of three brothers who became Sweden's most successful criminals - written by their real brother.
None had committed a crime before. All were under 24 years old. All of them would be changed forever. In this intoxicating, heartbreaking thriller, the real-life fourth brother, who was not involved in the real robberies, tells of three boys who grew from innocent children to become public enemy number one - and of the man who made them that way. 'Unique and stunning. One of the most powerful novels you'll read this year'
Stephen Booth 'The emotional centre of the story is truly compelling . . . the sweep and scope are epic'
Herald 'Superior. . . builds to a breathless climax'
Sun 'A deep, clean cut into the body of fathers, sons, loyalty and family'
