Kurt er truckfører på havnen. En dag redder han en sømands liv og får som tak en diamant, der er 50 millioner værd. Men Kurt, som egentlig er et rart menneske, kan ikke tåle den pludselige rigdom

Kurt er truckfører og har været det i mange herrens år. KURTBY er Erlend Loes femte bog om Kurt, og den har allerede fået en pæn dosis omtale i Norge og i Sverige ikke mindst. Udgangspunktet er nemlig Knutby-tragedien i Sverige i 2004, hvor en pastor i pinsemenigheden blev pågrebet og senere dømt livsvarig fængsel for overlagt drab på sin kone. Pastoren havde et forhold til flere af kvinderne i Filadelfiamenigheden uden for Uppsala. I KURTBY benytter Loe sin velkendte underdrejede absurde humor til at gøre nar af kristne sekter og pastoral magtmisbrug.

Det handler om landets videre skæbne. Om savn og svigt - og en stadig kamp for friske truckbatterier.
