Genre


After being awarded the Swedish equivalent to the Whitbread Award for his debut novel Pesetas, Mons Kallentoft chose to give his own unique take on the classic Scandinavian crime novel. His success was immediate. The first book in the series about superintendent Malin Fors received unanimous praise from the national critics; it also conquered the bestseller charts and has today sold more than 300,000 copies in Sweden alone.

Was Mons Kallentoft born to be a storyteller? Yes, perhaps. Because, considering his upbringing, literature was not the obvious path in life.

“Iubirea și moartea sunt vecine.
Au unul și același chip.
Nu ai cum să li te împotrivești.
Două persoane se întâlnesc.
Se-ndrăgostesc fulgerător.
Se iubesc.

Mons Kallentoft, Midvinterblod

“Some nights the bed is endlessly wide, some nights it contains all the loneliness in the world. Some nights it is soft and promising, when waiting for sleep is the best part of the day.

Mons Kallentoft, Midvinterblod

“Falar. Já há demasiadas palavras neste mundo. Pouco ou nenhum silêncio.”
Mons Kallentoft, Sommardöden
