Books by Thomas Enger
“This is a Scandi noir so it’s all the cold and ice and darkness that we like so much. I tried to look for police procedurals that have something different about them. Something original. What I find interesting about this one is that it’s written by two people. As a writer, you spend so much time alone it baffles me how any two authors would write a detective story together, but they do. The chapters are very, very short. Thomas Enger’s background is in journalism, John Lier Horst was a cop, and whatever experiences they bring to the table it obviously works because the books are great.” Read more...
