Review
"Something quite special and fascinating: a use of the detective form to present a brooding and biting forecast of the future - or of a possible future" (New York Times Book Review)
"The godfather of Scandinavian crime fiction" (Jo Nesbo)
"[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)
"[His novels] are economical and move with great pace... [They] have been restored to the canon of European crime fiction in English. Don't miss" (Bob Cornwell Crime Time)
"Wahlöö would prompt many writers to use crime fiction as a way of holding a mirror to social evils. Here the investigation is tense, the murder shocking, but at heart the crime is against journalism and intellectual freedom" (Public Sphere)
Book Description
A chilling dystopian classic crime story from the godfather of Scandinavian crime fiction.
