The Son (Special Edition) (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard Anniversary Edition)

A special edition from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Cockroaches and “the crime author of the moment” (The New York Times Book Review): an electrifying tale of vengeance set amid Oslo’s brutal hierarchy of corruption. Featuring an introduction by James Ellroy.

Sonny Lofthus has been in prison for almost half his life: serving time for crimes he didn't commit. In exchange, he gets an uninterrupted supply of heroin—and a stream of fellow prisoners seeking his Buddha-like absolution. Years earlier Sonny's father, a corrupt cop, took his own life rather than face exposure. When Sonny discovers a shocking truth about his father's suicide, he makes a brilliant escape and begins hunting down the people responsible. But he's also being hunted—by enemies too numerous to count.
