It is early days yet so let me open the ball with news about a Danish crime writer.
I am very happy to tell you that Jussi Adler-Olsen´s first police procedural featuring Carl Mørck is on its way in English. Mørck may not be the most active cop, but fortunately his superior appoints an assistant, the rather unusual ´little helper´ Assad.
“Mercy” (Kvinden i buret, 2007) was a fine debut (I read it before my blogging days), and the series has received well-deserved acclaim in Scandinavia. Danish reviewers agree that Adler-Olsen is in brilliant shape, and I promise to review volume three and four before long. I just like spacing fine series like this one out a bit.
“Mercy” (UK edition) should come out the 12th of May.
“Keeper of Lost Causes” (US edition) is planned for the 18th of August.
