Summary

It is 1795 and evil lurks in the winding alleys of Stockholm. Tycho Ceton prowls the city, willing to do anything to survive and reclaim the honour he has lost. No one knows what he is planning next but Emil Winge, haunted by the ghosts of his past, is determined to stop him. Meanwhile, Jean Mickel Cardell is preoccupied with his own search for Anna Stina Knapp. She may have in her possession a letter which could have devastating consequences in the wrong hands.

All the while, hell looms inexorably...

In 1795: The Order of the Furies, the third instalment of Niklas Natt och Dag's historical noir trilogy, we are plunged once again into the bustling world of late eighteenth-century Stockholm. The city is teetering on a precipice, with evil shaking its core, but can love and friendship prevail?

The Stockholm of the C18th: a heaven for the rich and a hell for the poor.

I enjoyed this book, even though at times it was very difficult listening. The lives of those described are polar opposites. The rich and the aristocracy live in some style and are subject to relatively few constraints, while the abject misery, poverty and hunger of the poor, who are completely powerless, is in stark contrast. Two men try to redress this imbalance, and pay a dreadful price for their temerity. The one, a one armed sailor, the other an educated man with little fortune, but both willing to risk all. The backdrop to their endeavours is a Sweden under a regency, awaiting a king to come of age, but in the meantime subject to the cross currents of different factions seeking more power and influence. Cardell is a magnificent figure. He was a sailor and now is a watchman, in partnership with an investigator, who has lived in his late brother’s shadow. In the two earlier books in this series, Cardell worked with and was close to the late brother. The two men seek a man, who has no merit, and appears and is completely evil: not an amoral but an immoral person. This man has powerful friends, who protect him and to bring him down our two heroes must try to remove those protections. He is a murderer, who belongs to a club of rich men with too much time on their hands and too much influence, who seek out diversions and pleasures that are denied to others. Only by threatening the powerful friends can they have any justice. I recommend reading or listening to the earlier books before coming to this magnificent story, to which my few words do no justice.

Devastating

If you’ve read the first two books in this trilogy you’ll know what you’re in for. Incredible storytelling, astonishing translation of what I assume was equally astonishing in the original Swedish and you’ll know not to look for easy endings.

Fantastic Bittersweet Conclusion

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this series,and although not to everyone's taste I recommend all three books for an immersive foray into the dark side of humanity with triumphs of will, of good broken and flawed men. Well done sir
