AN EVOLUTIONARY NOVEL One Swedish winter morning, a normally placid
engineer gives his boss a well deserved slap in the face. The
question, "What's wrong with this idiot?" pitches Nilson and an
eclectic group of friends on an inquest into the dark corners of
the human psyche. Not a standard crime investigation, as the
elusive perpetrator is hiding in the most secret of all secret
places, where the police cannot follow. Peeling away the layers of
society over beer and pizza, they start to uncover something
dangerous lurking in the minds of people - a Narcissus Parasite
that has the power to destroy companies, play havoc with entire
countries and severely damage human relationships. Soon the truth
telling becomes personal as they turn the light towards themselves.
Through the four seasons of a Scandinavian year we join Nilson and
company at the Pizzeria Salamander as they dig deeper. We follow
them home and on travels, with their families, struggling with
raising their children, loving their partners, and facing the
age-old enigmas of death and spirituality. What do this group of
ordinary working people uncover when they take the time to really
essay into the questions of the Good, the True and the Beautiful?
Reader Reviews: A remarkable book. Its main strength is that it
makes me think. Reading it has made me a member of the Salamander
Club, and that's a rare reading experience. Dave King, Co-author of
Self-Editing for Fiction Writers. The book reads like a
psychological and philosophical adventure story. The Salamanders'
conversations shed new clarity on some of the most widespread and
destructive psychological forces at play in our modern world. Be
prepared to discover that you, too, may be among those infected.
Lasse Ramquist. This book resembles a Gothic structure - elegant
archways that carry a lot of weight. Dr Ulf Hjalmars
