This sounds really great! Thanks for an intriguing choice.

I hope it's not too "brutal", but I am ready for a good mystery. I don't usually read this type of book but a new reading adventure awaits me. Thanks!!

I share your love of the books by Stieg Larsson but I haven't read anything by Henning Mankell. What would you recommend as a good read by Mankell?  Thank you.

Paul, thanks for another great choice.  Looks like a great book, can't wait to start reading and discussing with everyone.

Just got the PM that I'm in.    I'm so excited - this is just the sort of book I love. Looking forward to the discussions and hearing from the author.

Thanks!

Not my usual genre, but that's why I love First Look.  I have enjoyed reading the previous FL selections.  This club has pushed me outside my comfort zone and it's been a rewarding experience.

Can't wait to read it !!!!

Floreader,  I completely agree.  I participated in the Wake of Forgiveness discussion.  This is book I would have looked at because of the gorgeous cover, but I don't think I would have read it.  It is one of the best books I have read this year and am so thankful to get to participate in this wonderful group.

Looking forward to this discussion!  Thank you!!

The book sounds fantastic. I am up for a good page turner! Can't wait for this one!

This isn't normally a book I would pick up, either, but it sounds great! I'm always open to reading new titles and genre's. I love the diversity of all the First Look picks.

Thanks Paul!

This is the best part of First Look: reading what you normally wouldn't. To experience new authors and expand your horizons.

  This sounds like it's a book right up my alley.  I love to read mysteries  and espionage and this looks like it will fit the bill.  Bravo to First Look for what looks like another great read.

He leads a double life: one with a beloved wife and two small boys – a family he will protect no matter what the cost. And another, secret life in which every single day he risks losing everything.

Three Seconds is intelligent, gripping, and brutal.

About the Authors

Award-winning journalist Anders Roslund and ex-criminal Börge Hellström are Sweden's most acclaimed fiction duo. Their unique ability to combine inside knowledge of the brutal reality of criminal life with searing social criticism in complex, intelligent plots has put them at the forefront of modern Scandinavian crime writing.

This is great! I have just read "The Man Who Went Up In Smoke" a 1966 novel written by Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo two Swedish writers. Also The "Girl Who Play with Fire" . I am really enjoying Swedish authors.

Hey Floreader:  

I too would not have read this otherwise, so now I am glad to be waiting for the book to read now that I am a FL reader.

To wjbauer:

What is different -or special- about the Swedish writers-authors- whom you've read so far?  Can you pinpoint any particular style or prose?
