“Anders Roslund might be Sweden’s foremost crime author right now. The odd, to say the least, friendship between the old police officer Grens and the severely criminal Hoffmann is fascinating in itself and adds fuel to the story. But Roslund also draws sympathetic portraits of both of them. They become people with hearts and souls. Roslund has a phenomenal ability to tell his story. Some authors write only in high tempo, but Roslund is able to lower the tempo and become more observing, without diminishing the reading experience. The fact that it is also thrilling as hell doesn’t make things worse … You do not want to miss this.”
