One of the best Nordic Noir writers GuardianA trip behind the Iron Curtain would change their lives forever . . . It begins in 1969. Six young people arrive in Uppsala Sweden. Different circumstances push the three young couples together and over the course of a few years they become friends. But a summer trip through Eastern Europe changes everything and when their time at Uppsala University is over it also signals the end of something else. Years later a lecturer at Lund University is found dead at the bottom of a cliff in the woods close to Kymlinge. And chillingly it is the very same spot where one of the Uppsala students died thirtyfive years before.

The Lonely Ones is the fourth novel of Håkan Nessers quintet about Inspector Gunnar Barbarotti.
