The Nordic Run

A Finnish man loses his daughter when his wife falls under the influence of a militant feminist group and kidnaps their three-year-old. After a month’s disappearance, the father snatches his daughter back and begins a 2-year run from the government, the police force and a powerful feminist group. The author writes about his own true life drama that took him from Helsinki to Lapland, from Sweden to Spain, from Managua to Tangiers, from the Philippines to Japan. Along the way, Interpol is brought in, Finnish district courts fabricate undocumented evidence and overseas Finnish feminist-aid workers are ordered to mobilize. THE NORDIC RUN is a battle of individual morality against a Nordic feminist-leaning political machine, the story of the relationship between a loving father and his daughter, and the role of men in today's feminist Northern Europe. THE NORDIC RUN is based on the Finnish classic "Isän ja lapsen pakomatka", published in 1999. The English language editor is Riva Greenberg.
