Black Lies, Red Blood: A Mystery: 5 (Ann Lindell Mysteries) - Softcover

"Some writers you read for story, some you read for content or style. Kjell Eriksson is a writer best read for sensibility. This Swedish author's police procedurals are as dark as any in the Nordic noir tradition, but their deep vein of compassion transforms them into something more warmblooded than your average cop novel."--The New York Times Book Review "Eriksson keeps the reader guessing, but his real strength is his ability to create descriptive details that bring even his minor characters alive."--Publishers Weekly "[Eriksson] adds each piece of his complex murder puzzle to the picture with masterly control, and the heroine at the center of it all is compelling."--Kirkus Reviews
