Scandinavian Crime Fiction

Jakob Stougaard-Nielsen

"With its bleak urban environments, psychologically compelling heroes and socially engaged plots, Scandinavian crime writing has captured the imaginations of a global audience in the 21st century. Exploring the genre's key themes, international impact and socio-political contexts, Scandinavian Crime Fiction guides readers through such key texts as Steig Larsson's Millennium trilogy, Henning Mankell's Wallander books and TV series such as The Killing. Including guides to further reading and online resources to help readers explore the genre for themselves, this book is essential for readers, viewers and fans of contemporary crime writing."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
