A
NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE CRIME BOOK OF THE YEAR
“A high-impact Swedish thriller.” —
The New York Times
“Superb . . . Roslund and Hellstrom play out the tale in taut, short scenes, meting our revelations and shocks in sure, knowing fashion, ending with the shock that all but undoes the rest . . .
Box 21 is profound.” —
The Philadelphia Inquirer
“This dark, explicit novel is another impressive crime thriller from Scandinavia. . . . A good read.” —
Arizona Republic
“Gripping . . . the story takes a number of surprising twists and turns.” —
The Washington Post Book World“This excellent crime thriller is bound to please fans of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallander series.” —Library Journal
“A remarkable tale of loss, addiction and revenge. . . . This taut and nuanced thriller should appeal to fans of Mo Hayder, Denise Mina and, of course, Henning Mankell.” --Publishers Weekly
“What is it with Scandinavians and great crime writing? Something to do with the long nights, I guess. Box 21, with its sharply drawn cast of jaded cops, junkies, thugs, and victims, is a gripping tale of modern-day slavery, damage, and revenge, shocking and compelling in equal measure.” —Simon Lewis, author of Bad Traffic
