One of the best detective novels ever written in Sweden
Dagens Arbete
One of the best Swedish crime novels of all time
Expressen
Leif GW Persson's books are both brilliant and unique - stylish crime requiems marked by pitch-black humour and an unparalleled satiricat sting
Hakan Nesser
From a country known for terrific crime novelists, Sweden's great crime writer Leif G.W. Persson brilliantly takes the reader into a world of fascinating mystery and secrets
Joseph Wambaugh
Reminiscent of Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson in its toughness... A philosophically charged tale worthy of Ingmar Bergman-but with lots more guns
Kirkus Reviews (starred)
This is not only a compelling crime story to be read without stopping until the last page. It is not only an unforgettable tale with a ferocious and bitter unexpected ending. It is much more. This is a masterpiece
Il Sole 24 Ore
A teeth-gritting political thriller... Authentic with silent anger, tough and utterly haunting
Berliner Morgenpost
Ambitious... as well as being an intricately detailed crime narrative this is a powerful state-of-the-nation novel. Those who feel that crime fiction can tackle truly serious issue should pay close attention to Persson's magnum opus
Independent
A masterpiece of political and police intrigue
Yorkshire Evening Post
