Box 21 cover

THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHORS OF THREE SECONDS AND CELL 8 INTRODUCE DCI EWERT GRENS TO THE CRUEL REALITY OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING.

'This is crime writing at its most ambitious and morally complex' Financial Times

Lydia Grajauskas will never forget the face.

The face of the trafficker who brought her to Stockholm: the man responsible for three unrelenting years of forced prostitution and slavery.

DCI Ewert Grens will never forget the name.

The name of the prisoner the day his life was destroyed: the man responsible for twenty-five years of torturous heartache.

Sweden will never forget their revenge . . .

Box 21 is a steely, airtight thriller containing both the harshest aspects of degradation and retaliation, and the toughest questions surrounding the morality of violent and obsessive reprisal.


Looking for a companion to Box 21? Look no further than Roslund & Hellström's Pen 33 . . .

Journalist Roslund and ex-criminal Hellstrom are among Sweden's most popular thriller writers with a reputation for down-and-dirty detail and an eye for political intrigue and police corruption . . . extraordinarily compelling. - Daily Mail

This is crime writing at its most ambitious and morally complex. - Financial Times

[In Ewert Grens] the authors have created an eccentric, alienated, socially inept hero worthy of comparison with Swedish mystery master Henning Mankell's Inspector Kurt Wallander. - Wall Street Journal

The Swedish team of Roslund and Hellstrom is writing explosive crime novels as good, if not better, than those of Stieg Larsson. - USA Today

Roslund / Hellstrom are among the very best crime novelists around. They write with courage and intensity about the important issues of our time. - Maj Sjowall
