The Moose Paradox: The outrageously funny, tense sequel to the No. 1 bestselling The Rabbit Factor

English

By (author): Antti Tuomainen

Translated by: David Hackston

Insurance mathematician Henri has his life under control, when a man from the past appears and a shady trio take over the adventure parks equipment supply company. Things are messier than ever in the absurdly funny, heart-stoppingly tense second instalment in Antti Tuomainens 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 parks equipment supplier is taken over by a shady trio, with confusing demands. Why wont Toy of Finland Ltd sell the new Moose Chute to Henri when he needs it as the parks main attraction?

Meanwhile, Henris 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 its 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

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
