About

'Stay in the world, Aud… Stay alive inside. Promise me.'

Wracked with grief, Aud Torvingen has retreated from her life in Atlanta to a remote cabin in the middle of Appalachia. Months pass in solitude, until an old friend asks for her help tracking down his missing fiancé, Tammy.

Aud accepts – finding Tammy is easy. The hard part is repairing the damage caused by Tammy's abusive lover Geordie Karp, damage that extends further than she ever imagined. And Aud has demons of her own to face first…

Reviews

"The Aud Torvingen novels aren't just noir - they're a journey through the dark heart of noir and out the other side to somewhere hopeful. When the Aud books first came out, it was probably more surprising that the dark journey in question belonged to a queer woman: but even now that the world has begun to catch up with the imagination of Nicola Griffith, these novels are still astonishing.

"Without Aud Torvingen it's difficult to see how there could have been a Lisbeth Salander"

"If Jack Reacher had a sister, she'd be Aud Torvingen . . . he would love her but he'd be a little scared of her, too"
