Revue de presse :
"Leif GW Persson's sprawling, state-of-the-nation novels make deft use of crime fiction conventions to expose the faultlines of Swedish society. This more closely focused novel is a brilliant exploration of a young woman's murder, press sensationalism, and the inner workings of a police investigation, with readers reintroduced to the blackly humorous and truly unforgettable police detective Evert Bäckström." (Petrona judges panel remarks 2014 Petrona Award for Best Scandinavian Crime Novel of the Year 2014)
"As the army of Scandinavian crime writers sweeps invincibly onwards, it becomes more challenging for aficionados of Nordic Noir to sort out the wheat from the chaff - although the former is (thankfully) in greater supply. The individual character of various writers' work can seem similar, but certain talents stand out from the pack. Such is the gifted Leif Persson, whose massive, sprawling, state-of-thenation novels use the mechanics of crime fiction to expose the fault lines in Scandinavian society. Persson, very much his own man in the field, has written his best novel with this one, with its caustic, sardonic tone, it has all the vitality and pungency of its predecessors; its challenging, difficult hero is one of the most distinctive in the field" (The Good Book Guide)
"Persson's sprawling, state-of-the-nation novels use the mechanics of crime fiction to expose the faultlines in Scandinavian society. Linda has all the vitality of Persson's earlier books; its difficult hero is one of the most distinctive in the field." (Barry Forshaw Financial Times)

Winner of the Petrona Award for Best Scandinavian Crime Novel 2014
In the middle of an unusually hot summer, a young woman studying at the Swedish Police Academy is brutally murdered. Deeply unwillingly, Police Inspector Evert Bäckström is drafted in to head up the investigation.
It is a questionable choice of detective for such a high profile case. Bäckström is egotistical, vain and utterly prejudiced against everything, a man with no discernable sense of duty, who thinks everyone with the exception of himself is an imbecile and really has only warm feelings towards his pet goldfish and the nearest bottle of liquor. He also thinks he is God's gift to modern policing.
If they are to solve the case, his long suffering team must work around him, following the scant few leads which remain after Bäckström's intransigence has let the trail go cold.
