- Ulf Varg works in Malmo's Department of Sensitive Crimes. Like all Scandinavian detectives he has his issues. In his case these include his unresolved feelings for his colleague, Anna; his impatience over the seeming incompetence of his irritating colleague Blomquist; and his concerns for the health of his hearing-impaired dog, Marten, the only dog in Sweden (and possibly all Scandinavia) who is able to lip-read (in Swedish). Along with his colleagues, Ulf is called upon to investigate a bizarre attack on a market trader, the disappearance of a handsome man who may or may not exist, and the affairs of a variety of young female students whose relationships with one another leave a great deal to be desired.Ulf and his team come to realise that the world is a puzzling place, lycanthropy (were-wolfism) exists and fish might have something to teach us. There is so much to learn if you are a Swedish detective, and in the first book in this new quasi-Scandinavian series, Ulf Varg embarks on these lessons with spirit and good humour.

- In this witty, poignant and tense collection of stories, the beloved author of The Number One Ladies Detective Agency and 44 Scotland Street introduces us to Ulf Varg (Wolf Wolf in Swedish/Danish), a detective in the Malmo CID. Ulf is the typical, brooding Scandinavian detective of the popular imagination. He is unlucky in love, a bit inclined to seasonal affective disorder, and, as a result, melancholic during the long winters. His wife has left him for a stage hypnotist, although he still feels fondness for her and would take her back in a heartbeat. He likes Scotch whisky, and has a collection of rare malts. He shares his flat with his dog, Marten, who is deaf. Marten has been trained to lip-read, a fact that intrigues Else Horghaven, a freelance journalist. She has long wanted to write an article about Marten, but Ulf has resisted this, not wanting Marten to get public attention. Else pursues Ulf, but with little success. Ulf is courteous and sympathetic. He is interested in matters of the mind and in Scandinavian art of the nineteen-thirties. He is also a good cook.
