In a former brothel turned low-rent hotel, three unusual Swedes—a female priest, recently fired from her church; the ruined grandson of an ex-millionaire working as a receptionist; and Killer-Anders, a murderer newly released from prison—join forces, with darkly hilarious results. But in this novel by the author of The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared, when Killer-Anders finds Jesus, The Priest and The Receptionist desperately concoct an audacious plan to preserve the money-making machine that they have devised.
