Sweet Sweet Revenge Ltd / Jonas Jonasson ; translated from the Swedish by Rachel Willson-Broyles.
"Victor Alderheim has a lot to answer for.

Back in Stockholm, Kevin's path crosses with Jenny's--and they have an awful lot to talk about, not least a shared desire to get even with Victor. So it's convenient when they run into a man selling revenge services, who has an ingenious idea involving Victor's cellar, a goat, some forged paintings, four large boxes of sex toys, and a kilo of flour..."-- Provided by publisher.
