Nordic Chills and Thrills: Karin Smirnoff, Thomas Enger & Johana Gustawsson

The chilling allure of Scandinavian crime fiction remains undiminished, a glittering dark star in the noir sky. Three of its finest proponents come together to discuss their new books and the genre’s continuing appeal.
The Girl with Ice in her Veins is the latest in the multi-million selling Millenium series featuring Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomquist and penned by Swedish author Karin Smirnoff. Norway’s Thomas Enger and French-born Swedish resident Johana Gustawsson have achieved notable individual success and have now combined brilliantly on Son, the first in a spectacular new series featuring police psychologist Kari Voss.
