Insurance mathematician Henri has his life under control, when a
man from the past appears and a shady trio take over the adventure
park's equipment supply company ... Things are messier than ever in
the absurdly funny, heart-stoppingly tense second instalment in
Antti Tuomainen's bestselling series... 'In these uncertain times,
what better hero than an actuary?' Chris Brookmyre 'One of those
rare writers who manages to deftly balance intrigue, noir and a
deliciously ironic sense of humour ... a delight' Vaseem Khan 'What
a book! Antti has managed to put the fun into funerals and take it
out of fun fairs in a gripping nail-biter ... a thrilling and
hilarious read' Liz Nugent **Soon to be a major motion picture
starring Steve Carell** _______________________________ Insurance
mathematician Henri Koskinen has finally restored order both to his
life and to YouMeFun, the adventure park he now owns, when a man
from the past appears - and turns everything upside down again.
More problems arise when the park's equipment supplier is taken
over by a shady trio, with confusing demands. Why won't Toy of
Finland Ltd sell the new Moose Chute to Henri when he needs it as
the park's main attraction? Meanwhile, Henri's relationship with
artist Laura has reached breaking point, and, in order to survive
this new chaotic world, he must push every calculation to its
limits, before it's too late... Absurdly funny, heart-stoppingly
poignant and full of nail-biting suspense, The Moose Paradox is the
second instalment in the critically acclaimed, pitch-perfect Rabbit
Factor Trilogy and things are messier than ever...
________________________________ 'Finnish crime maestro Antti
Tuomainen is unique in the Scandi-crime genre, infusing his crime
narratives with the darkest humour ... [his] often hilarious,
chaotic narrative never vitiates the novel's nicely tuned tension'
Financial Times 'Enter hitmen, serendipity, offbeat comedy and the
reappearance of literally the last person Henri expects to see ...
unlike anything else out there' The Times 'A thriller with black
comedy worthy of Nabokov' Telegraph Book of the Year Praise for The
Rabbit Factor Trilogy **Shortlisted for the CWA Crime in
Translation Dagger** **Shortlisted for the Last Laugh Award** 'The
antic novels of Antti Tuomainen prove that comedy is not lost in
translation ... Tuomainen, like Carl Hiaasen before him, has the
knack of combining slapstick with genuine emotion' The Times 'The
funniest writer in Europe, and one of the very finest ... original
and brilliant story-telling' Helen FitzGerald 'British readers
might think they know what to expect from Nordic noir: a tortured
detective, a bleak setting, a brutal crime that shakes a small
community. Finnish crime novelist Tuomainen turns all of this on
its head ... The ear of a giant plastic rabbit becomes a key
weapon. It only gets darker and funnier' Guardian 'Dark, gripping
and hilarious ... Tuomainen is the Carl Hiaasen of the fjords'
Martyn Waites 'A triumph, a joyous, feel-good antidote to troubled
times' Kevin Wignall 'Finland's greatest export' M.J. Arlidge 'You
don't expect to laugh when you're reading about terrible crimes,
but that's what you'll do when you pick up one of Tuomainen's
decidedly quirky thrillers' New York Times 'Tuomainen is the
funniest writer in Europe' The Times 'Right up there with the best'
Times Literary Supplement 'Tuomainen continues to carve out his own
niche in the chilly tundras of northern' Daily Expres
