Review:
"The godfather of Scandinavian crime fiction" (Jo Nesbo)
"A vigorous and powerful mind...there is no doubt about the originality of his talent" (Sunday Times)
"[Sarah Death's translation] seems to catch the bleakness perfectly... Wahlöö's solo work deserves to be considered in the same context as Zamyatin, Capek, Orwell, or Durrenmatt...high praise indeed" (Michael Carlson Irresistible Targets)
"They are economical and move with great pace... Two unique novels have been restored to the canon of European crime fiction in English. Don't miss." (Bob Cornwell Crime Time)
"The premise is intriguing... The themes are topical" (Independent on Sunday)
