'a work of some power and quality likely to entertain those who like the thrill of the frozen north' - --Crime Review UK
&quotWritten in a spare but lyrical style, Hold the Dark is as much a mythical tale as it is a crime-fiction novel. Giraldi employs the topography of the vast, bleak tundra to telling effect, carving a story from its primal elements as if working on scrimshaw, in the process scraping away the facade of contemporary reality to reveal witchcraft, old gods and ancient evil." --Irish Times

"This is a deep, dark, and brutal novel which is fantastically written. There is blood, gore, and eloquence, there is love, passion, deceit and trickery, there is everything you could need in a truly epic read." --So Many Books, So Little Time

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A terrifying literary thriller set on the Alaskan tundra, about the mystery of evil and mankind's losing battle with nature.

Wolves have come for the children of Keelut. Three children have been taken from this isolated Alaskan village, including the six-year-old boy of Medora and Vernon Slone. Wolf expert Russell Core arrives in Keelut to investigate the killings and learns of the horrifying darkness at the heart of Medora.

When her husband returns from a desert war to discover his boy dead and his wife missing, he begins a maniacal pursuit that cuts a bloody swathe across the frozen landscape. As Core attempts to rescue Medora from her husband's vengeance, he comes face to face with an unspeakable secret about the indestructible bonds of family, and the untamed animal in the soul of every human being.

An epic woven of both blood and myth, Hold the Dark recalls the extreme climate and tribalism of Daniel Woodrell's Winter's Bone and the primeval violence of James Dickey's Deliverance.

A TV adaptation of Hold the Dark is currently in production with Netflix starring Alexander Skarsgård

'A taut, muscular and often unforgettable journey into the heart of darkness. Epic, relentless, and beautifully realized' - Dennis Lehane

'A powerful, memorable novel of lives lived in a place better suited to wolves than humans' - Mail on Sunday

'A brooding, self-consciously mythic tale' - Guardian
