The first step of the plan consists of buying a tea plantation in Darjeeling.

The influence of English crime fiction on Maria Lang’s novels is obvious: the closed circle of suspects, suspense, and the solution reached through use of the little grey cells with pipe-smoking as inducement to concentration.

Both prosecutors end up turning to crime to reach their goals.

The quiet underdog with hidden qualities, a loser suddenly finding that he or she can make a difference in a situation where former tormentors now have to rely on him or her.

Illustrated in rich swathes of violets, purples and blues, this picture book aims to help young children come to terms with fear of shadows and the dark.

A fine piece of investigative authorship.

A perfect combination for those wanting to get a grip on their own issues with ‘the system’.

Arguments as much as works of literature, inviting thought about what illness means to the individual and his/her nearest, as well as presenting, at times obliquely, the issues raised by attempts to organise health care on a massive scale.

‘Judaism is a humanity unto itself – as diverse and heterogeneous as all of humanity on our planet.’

Drawing on the latest research, this volume is a welcome addition to the comparative histories on Scandinavia and the Second World War.

Thörn and Persson parody our fascination with crime and play with the conception of what is real by creating a sort of reality fiction.

This is not some lurid tale of a serial killer, but an examination of what happens when complex social structures such as the legal system or healthcare fall prey to enthusiastic or misguided professionals. This book bites back at the therapists, police and lawyers who for some reason viewed this patient – Sture Bergwall, also known as Thomas Quick – as a professional battleground.

This gripping and absorbing account is real Scandinavian crime and deserves the widest possible readership by those who not only take an interest in crime and justice but also enjoy excellent writing and a compelling narrative.

Åsheden examines her material again and publishes her account of events, hoping to lift the curse still hanging over Holmér’s name.
