Reviews
Praise for Priest of Evil:'Priest of Evil centers on a fanatical priest who brainwashes teenagers into carrying bomb-filled backpacks. Joensuu, who believes the police officer's 'ringside seat' on society can lend prescience, says "the priest believes there is only one way to think. So do suicide bombers and superpowers"' - Maya Jaggi, Guardian'Joensuu plays on our suspicions of moral righteousness and religious fanaticism, along with current apprehensions regarding Tube travellers bearing backpacks. Plays along nicely' - Amanda Hopkinson, Independent'Matti Joensuu - a scholarly cop who might get along better with Morse than Rebus - has emerged from a long silence with a ninth novel about Inspector Harjunpaa. He's still an arson and explosives expert on the Helsinki force' - Boyd Tonkin, Independent
