Things are messier than ever in the absurdly funny, heart-stoppingly tense second instalment in Antti Tuomainen's bestselling series... 'In these uncertain times, what better hero than an actuary?' Chris Brookmyre 'One of those rare writers who manages to deftly balance intrigue, noir and a deliciously ironic sense of humour ...

a delight' Vaseem Khan 'What a book! Antti has managed to put the fun into funerals and take it out of fun fairs in a gripping nail-biter ... a thrilling and hilarious read' Liz Nugent**Soon to be a major motion picture starring Steve Carell** _________________________________________ Insurance mathematician Henri Koskinen has finally restored order both to his life and to YouMeFun, the adventure park he now owns, when a man from the past appears - and turns everything upside down again. More problems arise when the park's equipment supplier is taken over by a shady trio, with confusing demands.

Why won't Toy of Finland Ltd sell the new Moose Chute to Henri when he needs it as the park's main attraction? Meanwhile, Henri's relationship with artist Laura has reached breaking point, and, in order to survive this new chaotic world, he must push every calculation to its limits, before it's too late... Absurdly funny, heart-stoppingly poignant and full of nail-biting suspense, The Moose Paradox is the second instalment in the critically acclaimed, pitch-perfect Rabbit Factor Trilogy and things are messier than ever... _________________________________________Praise for The Rabbit Factor Trilogy **Shortlisted for the CWA Crime in Translation Dagger****Shortlisted for the Last Laugh Award** 'The antic novels of Antti Tuomainen prove that comedy is not lost in translation ...

Tuomainen, like Carl Hiaasen before him, has the knack of combining slapstick with genuine emotion' The Times 'A thriller with black comedy worthy of Nabokov' Telegraph Book of the Year 'The funniest writer in Europe, and one of the very finest. There is a beautiful rhythm and poetry to the prose ... original and brilliant story-telling' Helen FitzGerald 'British readers might think they know what to expect from Nordic noir: a tortured detective, a bleak setting, a brutal crime that shakes a small community.

Finnish crime novelist Tuomainen turns all of this on its head ... The ear of a giant plastic rabbit becomes a key weapon. It only gets darker and funnier' Guardian 'Antti Tuomainen turns the cliched idea of dour, humourless Scandi noir upside down with The Rabbit Factor.

Dark, gripping and hilarious ... Tuomainen is the Carl Hiaasen of the fjords' Martyn Waites 'The Rabbit Factor is a triumph, a joyous, feel-good antidote to troubled times' Kevin Wignall 'Finland's greatest export' M.J. Arlidge 'The Rabbit Factor is an astounding read.

It has the suspenseful twists of a thriller, the laugh-out-loud moments of a comedy and a tragic dimension that brings a tear to the eye' Crime Fiction Lover 'You don't expect to laugh when you're reading about terrible crimes, but that's what you'll do when you pick up one of Tuomainen's decidedly quirky thrillers' New York Times 'Tuomainen is the funniest writer in Europe' The Times 'Right up there with the best' Times Literary Supplement 'Tuomainen continues to carve out his own niche in the chilly tundras of northern' Daily Express 'Tremendous fun: disorderly and uncontrollable ... readers of this book are guaranteed enjoyment' Cafe Thinking
