What makes life perfect? ​​Insurance accountant Henry Koskinen knows the answer because he studies everything down to the smallest detail. That was before he first encountered the unfathomable. After losing his job, he inherited an adventure park from his brother, including its eccentric staff and troubling financial problems. The most difficult financial issues turned out to be caused by large loans taken from criminal circles... leaving some dangerous men desperate to recoup their money. But what Henry can't truly calculate is love. At the adventure park, Henry meets Laura, an artist with a turbulent past and a lifestyle that strikes him as rich in the pleasures of life. As the criminals do everything they can to repay their debt, Henry's relationship with Laura deepens, and he finds himself confronted with situations and emotions he simply can't detail on his spreadsheets... Warmly funny, rich with off-beat characters and implausible situations, The Rabbit Factor is a triumph of dark suspense, its tension matched only by its ability to make us rejoice in the beauty and randomness of life. "Succinct, gripping, and warmly human. In these desperate times, what better hero than an actuary?" - Chris Brookmyer "Antti Tuomainen's hilarious novels prove that comedy doesn't get lost in translation... Tuomainen, like Carl Hiaasen before him, has a knack for combining slapstick comedy with heartfelt emotion." - New York Times "Europe's funniest writer, and one of the finest, most original, and most intelligent novelists around." - Helen Fitzgerald
