"A brilliant police procedural. . . . An absolutely masterful crime
novel."
--Booklist (starred review) "Memorable. . . . well-paced. . . .
brooding. . . . the crux of the story lies in Johansson's wrestling
with an appropriate solution to a crime that, incredibly, is fast
slipping to the other side of the statute of limitations: does he
let the bad guy get away, or does he take justice into his own
hands? A knotty, sinuous story that leads to a hard-won
resolution--and a decidedly conclusive end."
--Kirkus "The King of Swedish crime writing. Period."
--Kvällsposten, Sweden "Extraordinarily fascinating . . . Extremely
hard to put down."
--Jyllands-Posten, Denmark (five stars)

imaginative."
