Based on the bestselling Varg Veum novels and two collections of short stories by author Gunnar Staalesen, this modern noir Norwegian crime series is distinguished by dark humor, insightful characterization, and unremitting suspense. Varg is the old Norwegian word for wolf, and Varg Veum (Trond Espen Seim) is one lone wolf who's become a household name to the European crime audience. He may be unconventional but he gets the job done.
