KAOSAGENTERNA – THE AGENTS OF CHAOS
By Susanne Staun
VOLUME TWO IN THE GRIPPING NEW COLD WAR TRILOGY
A GRIPPING AND realistic novel exploring the political tensions in Eastern Europe. In the wake of mounting aggression from Putin’s regime, a disillusioned former British politician teams up with British intelligence to execute a daring plan: the rescue of Navalny, imprisoned in a remote Russian region.
MEANWHILE, IN NEIGHBORING Georgia, a high-stakes drama unfolds as three ex-wives unite in a desperate mission to save the country’s former president from a poisoning plot orchestrated by Moscow.
IN A LANDSCAPE where the line between friend and foe blurs, the struggle for power becomes increasingly fierce. Amid the political intrigue, the personal stakes are just as high, forcing everyone involved to constantly question: Who can you trust?
THIS THRILLER TRILOGY is a magnificent exploration of the new world order by one of the most compelling and elegant Danish crime storytellers.

REVIEWS
“Politiken critic Bo Tao Michaëlis takes stock of the best crime novels of 2024: The bestial, the cozy, the historical, the political – and the surprising. Here are the crime novels you should give as gifts – or just keep for yourself: Susanne Staun’s ‘Agents of Chaos’ is the second volume in a trilogy about major political tensions in Eastern Europe – including the war in Ukraine. Staun has almost broken into the British agent genre, the political thriller. She does it very well, very well researched. And the book is topical and exciting in an intelligent way.”
Politiken, Denmark
“The old Cold War novels had a certain respect for the enemy in the East. That’s gone with Susanne Staun. (…) Staun does an excellent job.”
Weekendavisen, Denmark
“Susanne Staun has written a super-spy spy novel that is exciting but also complex. So fasten your seatbelt: One of our best writers has entered the spy genre with style.”
