Masterpiece of Nordic noir

Cry Wolf by Hans Rosenfeldt, HarperCollins, $32.99 .. .. .. .. ..

It may well be that my affinity with the Nordic noir genre has something to do with my Danish heritage. For well over 20 years you would've found my nose in the latest Stieg Larsson, Henning Mankell, Jo Nesbo or Camilla Lackberg more often than not. Now you can add Hans Rosenfeldt to the list. Rosenfeldt wrote the award winning TV series

When human remains are found in the stomach of a dead wolf, detective Hannah Wester knows the situation will become more complicated before clarity is arrived at. Early inquiries move to a bloody drug deal gone wrong, and Hannah's team is stumped as life in her remote town of Haparanda is turned upside down. Rosenfeldt has crafted another Nordic masterpiece.

If, like me, the Scandanavian genre works for you, will be a rewarding summer read.
