This follow-up to The Twilight Time is definitely the best British police novel I've read in over a decade! This tops most books in the genre and also transcends it. More of a novel than a crime novel. Everyone must read!
Stieg Larssons third book, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, will be released October 1st at 10 am at The English Bookshops in Stockholm and Uppsala!
Great first book from a new Scottish crime writer. Set in Glasgow with a strong complex female lead character, Sergeant Anna Cameron.
– I really enjoyed this and can't wait to read the next one.
Another Glaswegian noir! Pitch black humour, fantastic story of social worker/single mum who stumbles into an amazing amount of violence and moral turpitude... This was so much fun to read. Start now!

Modern Fiction Book of the Month – May 2024
At the Golden Sunset retirement home, the residents tend to invent stories. So when elderly Ms Mook first begins to unspool her memories, the obituarist listening to her is sceptical. Stories of captivity, friendship, murder, assumed identities and spying. A life that moves from WWII Indonesia to Busan during the Korean war; from cold-war Pyongyang to a Protestant church in China. The adventures are so colourful and various, at times so unbelievable. Surely they can’t all belong to the same woman. Can they? // Discuss in the Modern Fiction reading group // Subscribe to the book-of-the-month!
