And when Pulli is found dead in his prison cell—an apparent suicide—Juul decides to dig deeper.

Striking up a fragile partnership with Iver Gundersen, a journalist now living with Juul’s ex-wife, Juul uncovers an internal power struggle in the gang world, where the desire for serious money is destroying the traditional, honor-based hierarchy. Uncovering more questions than answers, Henning soon realizes that he has to find not one but several killers . . . ruthless murderers who have never been more dangerous than they are now.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atria Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48232299659504,"sku":"9781451616484","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781451616484_p0.jpg?v=1763837011","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781451616484","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
