A very good mystery novel by a deceased Swedish journalist. Apparently, he wrote a trilogy of mysteries that were published after he died of a massive heart attack at age 50. This is the first one, and it's good stuff. What I liked about it was how ambitious it was as a mystery novel; it has about three major plot strands, several villains (including two serial killers), and two major protagonists. And it all works. The writing itself seemed a little weak in places but that could very well be the fault of the translator. Good gruesome fun in a cold Scandinavian location--what's not to like. Bring on book two, and maybe also the David Fincher film that is now in the works.
