Summary
Asa Larsson: Solar Storm
A new Scandinavian crime novel from the pen of one of the most widely read Swedish authors, Asa Larsson! The main character of Asa Larsson's novel, the workaholic lawyer Rebecka Martinsson, leaves her Stockholm firm and, fleeing the frenetic pace of life, returns to her roots in Kiruna, the northernmost city in Sweden, accepting a job as a public prosecutor there. But her journey north in search of peace and tranquility soon turns into a nightmare when she is confronted with a series of gruesome murders that will force her to return to her own past. Larsson's crime novels are characterized by a highly refined prose style characterized by details and descriptions and by paying attention to the psychological elaboration of the characters, which sets her approach apart and turns it into an atypical phenomenon in the spartan milieu of the contemporary crime novel, elevating her writing to the level of artistic prose and enrolling her name in the elite circle of contemporary Swedish literature.
