PRAISE FOR STEFAN AHNHEM: 'More gripping than Jo Nesbo, blacker than Stieg Larsson and more bleakly human than Henning Mankell' Tony Parsons. 'Grips like a vice' Irish Independent. 'Recalls Mankell at his best in its whip-smart observations, flawed but endearing characters and gruesome appeal' The Sunday Times Crime Club.
'If you loved The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, you're going to adore this dark, fiendishly clever book' -- Caitlyn Lynch 'This Nordic Noir from million copy-selling author and screenwriter Ahnhem is unputdownable ... Edge of the seat stuff' * Sunday Post * 'Ahnhem opens the door to the closed rooms of his characters, to their minds' labyrinths and nooks. And he does so with great success and insight' * Fyens Stiftstidende (Denmark) * 'Wonderfully well-conceived and excellently executed, with surprises appearing as the case evolves. The suspense lasts till the end also in the parallel case taking place in Helsingor ... A truly great and madly thrilling reading experience ... I will look forward to the next one in the series' * Litteratursiden (Denmark) * 'A chillingly thrilling crime novel' * Lokalavisen Nordsjaelland (Denmark) *
