Hard-nosed hit man Raid is driving toward the Arctic Circle with Nygren, a career criminal in the twilight of his life. As they journey northward, Nygren puts his affairs in order, wreaking vengeance on those who have wronged him and paying penance to those he has wronged. Their first stop is at a church, where a sham preacher is fleecing his congregation for money. Soon, both cops and crooks are on the trail of the mysterious pair. Detective Lieutenant Jansson and his colleagues are interested in any potential jobs the notorious criminals might be planning. A couple of accomplices from Nygren's past believe he has a hidden stash of cash, and want a share for themselves. In the end, the pilgrimage leaves a trail of wounded and dead in its wake. "Raid has a lot of the same quiet vengeance as the characters that Clint Eastwood creates on the silver screen. Both have the ability to make even murder seem justified." - Lnsi-Suomi "Two honest criminals contemplate the meaning of life... Nyknen writes clever dialogue and his laconic humour is an enjoyment for every reader" - Aamulehti

Since the late 1960s, the novels of Sjowall and Wahloo's Martin Beck detective series, along with the works of Henning Mankell, Hakan Nesser and Stieg Larsson, have sparked an explosion of Nordic crime fiction--grim police procedurals treating urgent sociopolitical issues affecting the contemporary world. Steeped in noir techniques and viewpoints, many of these novels are reaching international audiences through film and television adaptations. This reference guide introduces the world of Nordic crime fiction to English-speaking readers. Caught between the demands of conscience and societal strictures, the detectives in these stories--like the heroes of Norse mythology--know that they and their world must perish, but fight on regardless of cost. At a time of bleak eventualities, Nordic crime fiction interprets the bitter end as a celebration of the indomitable human spirit.

Nordic Noir: The Pocket Essential Guide to Scandinavian Crime Fiction, Film and TV by Britain's leading expert on crime fiction, Barry Forshaw, is a compact and authoritative guide to the phenomenally popular genre. The information-packed study examines and celebrates books, films and TV adaptations, from Sjöwall & Wahlöö's highly influential Martin Beck series through Henning Mankell's Wallander (subject of three separate TV series) to Stieg Larsson's groundbreaking The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, cult TV hits such as the Danish The Killing, The Bridge, and the political thriller Borgen, up to the massively successful books and films of the current king of the field, Norway's Jo Nesbo. Nordic Noir anatomises the nigh-obsessive appeal of the subject and highlights every key book, film and TV show. For both the beginner and the aficionado, this is a hugely informative, highly accessible guide (and shopping list) for an essential crime genre. 'Entertaining and informative companion ... written by the person who probably knows more than anyone alive about the subject' - The Times 'Readers wanting to get into Scandinavian crime fiction should start with Forshaw's pocket guide to the genre' - Financial Times Look out for the other books in Barry Forshaw's Noir series Euro Noir, Brit Noir, American Noir and Historical Noir, and for his latest book, Crime Fiction: A Reader's Guide.

Julkisuudessa marinoitu huippujohtaja Sebastian Virta juhlii loistohotellissa kokaiinin ja prostituoitujen voimin nimitystään kansainväliseen pankkiin. Yksi naisista päätyy sairaalaan ja huumenuuskaus matkapuhelinvideolle. Vääriin käsiin joutunut nauhoitus tuo alamaailman torpedo Raidin Helsinkiin, pakottaa komisariot Janssonin ja Takamäen yhteistyöhön sekä vie ataripoliisi Suhosen moottoripyöräjengin jäljille Kuviota sekoittaa niin pornokauppias Sundman kuin rikosten maailmasta eroon pyrkivä Suhosen lapsuudenkaveri Salmela. Paha paha tyttö pyörittää kovaa kovaa peliä. Se panee vanhat kaveruussuhteet ja alamaailman ikiaikaiset kunniasäännöt koetukselle. Harri Nykänen (1953–2023) oli kirjailija, Helsingin Sanomien rikostoimittaja ja kustantaja. Esikoisteoksensa Kuusi katkeraa miljoonaa (1986) jälkeen Nykänen kirjoitti yli kolmekymmentä teosta, lähinnä dekkareita, mutta myös muutaman rikosaiheisen tietokirjan. Lisäksi hän kirjoitti tv-sarjoja, kuunnelmia ja yhden näytelmän. Nykäsen suosittuihin Raid-romaaneihin perustuva samanniminen 12-osainen tv-sarja on edelleen kaikkien aikojen katsotuin suomalainen näytelmäsarja. Siitä on tehty myös erillinen valkokangaselokuva. Nykänen jäi vapaaksi kirjailijaksi vuonna 2001. Hänet on palkittu vuosina 1990 ja 2001 parhaasta jännitysromaanista Suomen dekkariseuran Vuoden johtolanka -palkinnolla. Hän on ollut ehdolla myös Pohjoismaisen dekkaripalkinnon Lasiavaimen saajaksi. Kirjailijantyönsä ohessa Nykänen toimi myös kustantajana rikoskirjallisuuteen ja dekkareihin erikoistuneessa CrimeTime-kustantamossa, jonka perustajajäseniin hän kuului. Jarkko Sipilä (1964–2022) oli toimittaja ja kirjailija. Hän työskenteli MTV:n uutisissa rikostoimituksen päällikkönä. Hän kirjoitti yli kaksikymmentä dekkaria, radiokuunnelmia ja tv-sarjan. Koripalloa SM-tasolla pelannut Sipilä toimi juniorivalmentajana kori- ja jalkapallossa.

'An excellent and intelligent investigation of the realities of urban living that respond to no design or directive... This is a book about the nature of London itself' Peter Ackroyd, The Times A powerful exploration of the seedy side of Victorian London by one of our most promising young historians. In 1887 government inspectors were sent to investigate the Old Nichol, a notorious slum on the boundary of Bethnal Green parish, where almost 6,000 inhabitants were crammed into thirty or so streets of rotting dwellings and where the mortality rate ran at nearly twice that of the rest of Bethnal Green. Among much else they discovered that the decaying 100-year-old houses were some of the most lucrative properties in the capital for their absent slumlords, who included peers of the realm, local politicians and churchmen. The Blackest Streets is set in a turbulent period of London's history when revolution was in the air. Award-winning historian Sarah Wise skilfully evokes the texture of life at that time, not just for the tenants but for those campaigning for change and others seeking to protect their financial interests. She recovers Old Nichol from the ruins of history and lays bare the social and political conditions that created and sustained this black hole which lay at the very heart of the Empire. A revelatory and prescient read about cities, class and inequality, the message at the heart of The Blackest Streets still resonates today.

When Gunnar Huttunen turns up in a small village to restore its run-down mill, its inhabitants are wary. Gunnar is big. He's a bit odd. And, strangest of all, he howls wildly at night. If Gunnar is different, then he must be mad, the villagers decide. Hounded from his home, he must find a way to survive the wilds of nature and the greater savagery of civilization. The Howling Miller is a dark fairytale of community, conformity and our place in the world.
