About this listen

Nordic Noir comes to America.

Thirty years after the shocking and unsolved 1986 assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme on a snowy street in Stockholm, an activist priest is found gruesomely sacrificed on the altar of a Swedish-American church in Minneapolis. The church’s immigrant janitor is also slain, execution style.

The crime shocks Hennepin Island, the church’s time-forgotten riverfront neighborhood, where Span Lokken, a demoralized newspaperman, and his improbable partner, Maggie Lindberg, the murdered clergyman’s stylish young assistant, join forces to search for the killers. The trail leads to the castle fortress of the island’s reclusive kingpin, Jonas Kron, whose “lost colony” delusions hide a gripping international mystery that brings the story full circle. Along the way, the curious bond between the unlikely detectives—Span and Maggie—only deepens as they seek to fill the empty spaces in their own lives.

I'm not a fan of "noir," but . . .

This is a complex, well conceived story that drew me in. The depth and level of Berg's research, real and imagined, enriched the tale. I listened to the audio book and thought the reader was a perfect match for the story. (When's the next one?)

Probably a better read than listen

The narrator’s vocal fry and intonation was distracting and off putting. Felt like I was listening to a very dry news story. Made it difficult to connect emotionally with the characters or to feel drawn into the story. Otherwise, the plot was okay, not what I expected. I liked certain elements.
