Une fois n'est pas coutume, le nouveau roman d'Olivier Norek n'est pas un polar mais un roman historique dont le sujet est un événement peu connu de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, l'invasion de la Finlande par l'Union soviétique.
Il s'intéresse notamment à un jeune paysan, Simo, qui va devenir le sniper le plus dangereux de l'armée finlandaise, à tel point que les soldats russes le surnommeront la « Mort blanche ».
Basé sur une solide documentation, Les guerriers de l'hiver est la nouvelle pépite de l'excellent Olivier Norek.

Résumé
The economy was booming. People had more money than they knew what to do with. And then the earthquake struck. For the characters in after the quake, the Kobe earthquake is an echo from a past they buried long ago. Satsuki has spent thirty years hating one man: a lover who destroyed her chances of having children. Did her desire for revenge cause the earthquake? Junpei's estranged parents live in Kobe. Should he contact them? Miyake left his family in Kobe to make midnight bonfires on a beach hundreds of miles away. Four-year-old Sala has nightmares that the Earthquake Man is trying to stuff her inside a little box. Katagiri returns home to find a giant frog in his apartment, on a mission to save Tokyo from a massive burrowing worm. 'When he gets angry, he causes earthquakes,' says Frog. 'And right now he is very, very angry.'
