It was kind of a slog to get through this one. It only resembled Stieg Larsson in that there were lots of old Norwegian/Swedish men who were hard to differentiate. Neo-Nazis, old school Norwegian Nazis, love, police politics, and assassination. I have the sequel and may give it a try, but this did not satisfy my craving for some hard-boiled detective fiction. The translation is also a bit clumsy in parts.
