'More gripping than Jo Nesbo, blacker than Stieg Larsson and more bleakly human than Henning Mankell' Tony Parsons. 'Atmospheric and complicated ... with great cop characters and some imaginatively grisly perps' Star Pick - The Sunday Times. 'Swedish crime writer of the year. Bliss' 'Books to Look For' - Irish Times. 'Grips like a vice' Irish Independent. 'Ahnhem's story is as bleak as the depths of a Nordic winter, as gory as a charnel house, and as far removed from the concept of Scandinavian hygge comfort as can be imagined, but still grips like a vice' Belfast Telegraph
