Falling Freely, as If in a Dream by Leif G W Persson

Lars Martin Johansson, chief of the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation in Sweden has opened the files on the unsolved murder of Prime Minister Olof Palme. With his retirement quickly closing in, Johansson forms a new group comprised of a few trustworthy detectives who doggedly wade through mountains of paperwork and pursue new leads.

Clever and sophisticated..Has the feel of a real investigation, carried out by convincing characters and shedding new light on this most perplexing of crimes -- Joan Smith * Sunday Times *
Similar to Ellroy in his American Underworld trilogy, this criminologist and author weaves together reality and fiction when he lets a group of honest cops once again scrutinize millions of documents to investigate the murder case. As the conspiracy theory develops the confusion grows. Brilliant. * Le Parisien *
There's plenty of life in Nordic Noir as Persson reminds us. British writers who complain about the attention given to the Scandinavians should pick this up and see why that is -- Barry Forshaw * Financial Times *
As well as being an intricately detailed cirme scenario, this is a powerful state-of-the-nation novel. Audacious narrative strategies are par for the course for the award-winning Scandicrims novelist Leif Persson * Good Book Guide *
