James Patterson 'Liza Marklund is in a league of her own thanks to her intelligent stories, her confident writing and her radical view on society. There is no doubt about it.' Henning Mankell 'Liza Marklund's thrillers are beautifully structured and tautly written. Dynamic plots with suspense throughout.' Kathy Reichs 'An astonishing talent. /.../ Liza Marklund's thrillers are stellar examples of those qualities inherent in the best fiction. She wholly immerses the reader in her world, and she writes with consummate intelligence, consistency and passion.' Jeffery Deaver 'It's obvious why Liza Marklund is such a popular writer, and so beloved by her loyal fans. Her voice is crisp and clean, and she has a knack for building beautifully elaborate and suspenseful plots. Her storytelling captivates readers, keeping them guessing right to the end with twists and turns you never see coming. /.../ I am but one member of a steadily growing group of loyal fans.'

Enjoy!' Harlan Coben 'It's no accident that Liza Marklund is one of the most dynamic and popular crime writers of our time.' Patricia Cornwell
