One of the many wonderful things about Alexander Söderberg's novel, The Andalucian Friend, is how it upsets our expectations. His cops act like gangsters, while his gangsters (some of them) attain a startling sort of nobility. Söderberg has created an entertaining, engaging, and wonderfully bloody-minded world. He’s a great storyteller. It’s that simple -- Scott Smith, author of The Ruins
An unpredictable and breathlessly suspenseful, taut and well-written thriller... A timeless saga about the struggle between good and evil... Utterly brilliant * Västerbottens-Kuriren (Sweden) *
