“With journalistic sharpness, Pascal Engman has the ability to create suspense literature in which he puts his finger on different societal issues. Detective Vanessa Frank and her colleagues are recurring characters, but Engman puts as much care into criminals and victims in his stories. /…/ The many threads are intertwined to a ball that rolls faster and faster. Pascal Engman writes highly topical suspense like no other.”
“De La Motte’s writing is impressive, and The Rust Forest is definitely worth a read.”
“Jens Lapidus’ Top Dog series has been influential in shaping both novels and TV shows about Stockholm’s underworld as it appears today. With this, he brings the series to the finish line, and it is truly a Grand Finale.”
