'Torture, corruption and perversion: there is no shortage of naughtiness in Asa Larsson's The Black Path ... A superior example of Scandinavian noir' Sunday Telegraph.

'Asa Larsson is one of the best' Shots. 'a compelling read ... this series is really amongst the cream of recently translated Scandinavian crime fiction' Eurocrime.
