Randi introduced me to these and now they are available in the US everywhere. He is Swedish - or should say was as he had a heart attack right after he finished the third one - which is not yet available in English.
I can't wait until it is!
I'm reading The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson right now. I read the previous one a few months back.
I have in the last couple of years discovered many fine Scandinavian writers of mysteries! .. Henning Mankell, Karin Fossum, Asa Larsson, Inger Frimansson, to name a few. A mystery bookstore in Ann Arbor has a Scandinavian section, and that's the first place I look when I go in there.
Plus, in the last year I've discovered James Ellroy and his L.A. Noir mysteries.
And lately I've been re-reading some of Elmore Leonard's Detroit Noir (? 
) mysteries.
Kirsten, after you brought up a 1990 book called Freeze Frame by Marjorie Dorner (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=154795), I got that from amazon.com and have just finished it. Don't the times change so quickly! (Why, back when I was a girl... we got our e-mail through tin cans attached to strings.. )

Death thought about it.
