A successful entrepreneur in the mushroom industry, Jaakko Kaunismaa is
a man in his prime. At just 37 years of age, he is shocked when his
doctor tells him that he's dying. What is more, the cause is discovered
to be prolonged exposure to toxins; in other words, someone has slowly
but surely been poisoning him.
Determined to find out who wants him dead, Jaakko embarks on a
suspenseful roller-coaster journey full of unusual characters, bizarre
situations and unexpected twists. With a nod to Fargo and the best
elements of the Scandinavian noir tradition, The Man Who Died is a
thriller brimming with the blackest comedy surrounding life and death,
and love and betrayal, marking a stunning new departure for the king of
Helsinki Noir.
