'Sweden's most suspenseful murder mystery may not be a fictional account from Stieg Larsson or Henning Mankell. It may end up being the true story of Thomas Quick' The Wall Street Journal
Hannes Rastam was an investigative reporter for SVT (Swedish Public Broadcasting). He won a number of awards for his work, including the Golden Spade, the Great Journalist Award, the Prix Italia, the Golden Nymph and FIPA d'Or. After a battle with cancer, Rastam passed away while finishing this, his first book.
Reads like a real-life Scandinavian crime novel -- Elizabeth Day *

It's appalling, it's true, and it's utterly phenomenal reading --
Leif GW Persson
The case of convicted serial killer Thomas Quick is an absolutely
amazing story, which if it weren't true, you would not believe. In
his gripping account, Hannes Rastam reveals the most extraordinary
series of failures and credulity on the part of the so-called
criminal justice experts. Piece by piece, Rastam strips away the
evidence against Quick until there is nothing left but the awful
question of how he was ever convicted of murder, not just once but
eight times -- Alex McBride * * author of Defending the Guilty *
*
Memorable -- Ed Caeser * * The Sunday Times * *
