Reviews
Journalist Roslund and ex-criminal Hellstrom are among Sweden's most popular thriller writers with a reputation for down-and-dirty detail and an eye for political intrigue and police corruption . . . extraordinarily compelling. - Daily Mail

This is crime writing at its most ambitious and morally complex. - Financial Times

[In Ewert Grens] the authors have created an eccentric, alienated, socially inept hero worthy of comparison with Swedish mystery master Henning Mankell's Inspector Kurt Wallander. - Wall Street Journal

The Swedish team of Roslund and Hellstrom is writing explosive crime novels as good, if not better, than those of Stieg Larsson. - USA Today

Roslund / Hellstrom are among the very best crime novelists around. They write with courage and intensity about the important issues of our time. - Maj Sjowall
