Charles Levin ― Leo Junker’s mentor ― is dead, shot in the back of the head in a premeditated attack.

About this title

Review:

‘Carlsson belongs to the truly talented who want to offer more than simply suspense.’

‘This is an incredibly strong crime novel, I would venture to say that among contemporary crime fiction it is in the absolute top! ... This is not a rush job, rather it is solid work crafted by a young man who impresses with his maturity and his analysis of the dark side of Sweden. If you like crime literature, don't miss these novels for the world!’

‘Christoffer Carlsson has once again written a beautiful crime novel. Complex, topical and with stylistic verve ... This is brilliant and promising.’

‘One of Sweden’s most interesting crime authors ... Carefully crafted language that is at times very poetic, without becoming over-saturated. It isn’t too long either ... Every word carries meaning, every character has fascinating psychological depth.’

‘An exceedingly relevant, insider deep-dive into a terrifying world where violence and blind obedience is the rule. But also a convincing tale of friendship and betrayal, relationships and double loyalties. A dark, thrilling story that feels close to reality.’

‘I seldom appreciate authors who write genre novels, but Carlsson does it so well that one is tempted to call it a reinvention of the genre.’

‘The Falling Detective develops into an ambitious political thriller with an unnervingly topical ― and fully plausible ― plot ... A suspense novel miles above average. So, what is The Swedish Crime Writers’ Academy to do this year?’

Source: Jönköpings-Posten (SE)

‘... Life-or-death stakes but also literary acrobatics that lure the reader in ... Christoffer Carlsson is truly a master of mixing play with gravity and crime genre nostalgia with contemporary realism ... Christoffer Carlsson loves the crime genre and that love makes me love reading his books.’
