3.7 stars. I enjoyed this second book int the series and I'm happy I've found a series of books by Christoffer Carlsson that I liked, as I hoped I would. Not my favorite but good to spend some time with and intriguing enough

[Carol - Reading Writing and Riesling · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good political/social commentary type thriller just wish I had read the first book in the series.

My View:
Clues like these…mean nothing in isolation, without the story that ties them all together. They are like road signs without symbols or letters. (p.39)

An interesting modern police procedural with relevant contemporary references to global social and political issues. It is also a domestic story about friendship, trust and betrayal and demonstrates just how easy it is for people to be manipulated by fear – of being exposed (for behaviours they do not wish made public or to be made accountable for) fear of rejection, of not belonging, of not living up to others expectations.

Carlsson offers many astute observations of life and society throughout the book, this one particular observation resonated with me: (of Michael and Christian p. 100) They were fifteen, and both believed that they understood everything. In fact they understood nothing.

Sociology and crime make for an interesting read, however I feel that as I missed reading the first book in this series I missed the connections between characters and didn’t have the background to understand some of the complicated relationships - I wanted to know what had happened to Leo, why he was taking medication, why he was hallucinating, showing obvious other signs of PTS (I knew it was to do with an incident relating to a shooting but little else). Whilst Carlsson provides some background information in this episode there is not enough for the new reader to be able to pick up the intricacies or nuances of relationships. I really wanted to know more about Leo and Grim, about Leo and Birck, about Leo and Sam. Regardless of my lack of history of some of the characters, this was still is an interesting look at some social political groups and situations that could easily become reality.

**The series will shortly be developed into a three season TV drama by StellNova Film.

De eerste twee boeken van Christoffer Carlsson werden nog met weinig enthousiasme ontvangen, maar met zijn derde boek “De toren van de dode zielen“, het eerste deel rond politieagent Leo Junker, verstomde de kritiek. Dat boek won de prijs voor Beste Zweedse Thriller 2013. “Besmeurde sneeuw” is het tweede deel rond Leo Junker, maar is goed als stand-alone te lezen. Wederom bewijst Carlsson wat een goede schrijver hij is. De personages zijn goed uitgewerkt, het plot zit sterk in elkaar en dat alles wordt gecombineerd met een maatschappijkritisch thema over de strijd tussen extreem-rechtse en extreem-linkse groeperingen. Carlsson kan beschouwd worden als de ongekroonde opvolger van Stieg Larsson. Hoewel Leo Junker misschien niet zo’n gedenkwaardig personage is als de twee hoofdpersonen uit de Millennium-trilogie van Stieg Larsson, heeft Carlsson van Leo Junker een enigszins instabiele, maar sympathieke hoofdrolspeler weten te maken, die het verhaal vrijwel op eigen kracht weet te dragen, wat een enorme prestatie is. Carlsson is een aanwinst binnen de Zweedse misdaadliteratuur en ik kijk dan ook vol verwachting uit naar het derde boek in deze serie. Dit boek is een absolute aanrader voor de liefhebbers van bijvoorbeeld Stieg Larsson, Jens Lapidus en Jo Nesbø.

The Falling Detective – A New Scandi Noir Hero

The Falling Detective is the second in a new series of Swedish crime from Christoffer Carlsson, who has introduced us to Detective Leo Junker. Rather than the usual fare of odd Swedish detective we are given a real defective detective, trying to wean himself off drugs, an associate in secure mental health facility and a relationship that is stuttering, in total a detective who really is not fit for duty, but do not tell anyone.

Leo Junker has returned to active duty in what it commonly referred to as the snake pit, or to the public as the homicide unit. Then a former political activist, now sociologist from Stockholm University, Thomas Heber, is murdered in an ally and their only witness is a young boy who can barely see out of the window,

The only clues that are left, are those by Heber, which are cryptic at best and dumbfounding in the main, what they do indicate is that someone’s life is in danger, and they do not know who. To make matters worse all the people who might have the required information are only identified as a number so there is no clue as to where to look. All his colleagues know is that Heber has been looking at the extreme left and right wing movements in Sweden.

Leo is put on the case with colleague and former nemesis Gabriel Black, but when the case is reassigned away from them to SEPO (Swedish Security Services) do they both realise that there is more to the murder than anybody is admitting or willing to talk about. He and Black soon find themselves entangled in a clash between a racist street gang and their rivals, who are playing out an all too real war on the streets, in the public eye as well as in the shadows.

If I were to have one complaint about this thriller is that it tends to jump around especially around two of the racist gang, while giving them a back story, jumping back and forwards can get confusing, especially if you are not used to Scandi Noir.

The Falling Detective is a good thriller that even if at some point, you may be able to predict how the story ends, there is still enough of a twist to say ‘I didn’t see that coming!’ Minus my gripes this is a well read and thought out crime thriller which examines, an area of Swedish politics that has always been around but tended to be ignored like the embarrassing uncle at a party. Still it is an enjoyable thriller well worth reading and getting to know Leo Junker better.

För 3,5 år sedan läste jag första delen i den här serien och jag vill inte säga att jag blev besviken, men den levde inte alls upp till mina förväntningar. Alltså har det inte lockat jättemycket att läsa vidare. Böcker som redan står här i hyllan. Då finns det ju bara en sak att göra och det är att ta med den i min Finish That Series-utmaning. När jag i början av februari skulle till Varberg på läsretreat så tyckte jag att Den fallande detektiven kunde passa. Författaren är ju i alla fall (nästan) från trakten.

När jag började läsa så insåg jag att jag inte minns något alls från första boken. Absolut ingenting. Tyvärr verkar det som att man förutsätts ha händelserna där i färskt minne för det dyker upp en hel del referenser. Utan förklaring. Tror jag i alla fall. Eftersom jag inte minns så vet jag ju inte. Det är ingen bra start för en bok.

I Den fallande detektiven är det mer fokus på bakgrund (och då speciellt höger- och vänsterextremisternas) än på själva brottet. Det är en mycket trovärdig berättelse om hur lätt det är att halka in på fel spår och hur snabbt det eskalerar.

OBS! Detta är en kraftigt förkortad text. Hela finns på min blogg

Polars nordiques = forte connotation sociale ? Celui-ci le confirme. Le thème principal est les groupes extrémistes et c'est noir.

[Phan Ba · Rating 3 out of 5]

Christoffer Carlsson sinh năm 1986, bắt đầu có tên tuổi trong làng trinh thám Thụy Điển qua tác phẩm đầu tiên của loạt tiểu thuyết về viên sĩ quan cảnh sát hình sự Leo Junker. Đây là tác phẩm thứ hai trong loạt tiểu thuyết đó.
Tác phẩm này mở đầu khá hấp dẫn với vụ giết chết nhà xã hội học Thomas Heber khi ông đến một điểm hẹn vào ban đêm để phỏng vấn một người nào đó. Nhà xã hội học Thomas thời trẻ cũng từng thuộc phe cực tả, có tiền án quấy rối trật tự công cộng nên những nghi ngờ đầu tiên đã quay sang hướng các phe phái cực đoan sẵn sàng dùng bạo lực. Khi Leo và đồng nghiệp Birck vừa biết được đến đây thì hai người phải giao toàn bộ vụ án này lại ngay lập tức cho bên cơ quan an ninh quốc gia của Thụy Điển, một cơ quan an ninh chuyên theo dõi các phần tử quá khích, có tiềm năng khủng bố. Điều này càng khiến cho Leo và Birck tăng thêm phần nghi ngờ vụ án có dính dáng đến chính trị, đến các nhân vật phe phái quá khích sẵn sàng dùng bạo lực. Nói chung khoảng một phần tư, một phần ba đầu diễn tiến đúng kiểu trinh thám/politthriller kinh điển với những cuộc phỏng vấn điều tra, với những sựkình địch "không ưa nhau" của cảnh sát hình sự và an ninh quốc gia.
Nhưng càng vào truyện thì tốc độ bị chậm lại vì những chương viết về hai nhân vật khác mà tác giả hé lộ đủ để cho người đọc có thể đoán được nhiều thứ, kể cả thủ phạm, xen kẽ những chương viết về quá khứ thời niên thiếu. Tựa như tác giả muốn đi sâu vào trong tâm lý của một vài nhân vật quan trọng, muốn dùng tâm lý và suy nghĩ của các nhân vật ấy để giải thích cho hành động của họ, nhưng tình tiết then chốt cuối cùng dẫn đến cái chết của Thomas Heber thì lại không thuyết phục được mình!
Một điểm khác khiến cho tôi đọc cảm thấy "vất vả" là hơi nhiều nhân vật: Leo (nhân vật chính) và đồng nghiệp Birck, hai sĩ quan an ninh Goffman và Iris, cuộc đời của Thomas Heber bị giết chết, ba nhân vật quanh Thomas Herber thuộc cực tả, ba nhân vật khác của phe cực hữu, hai nhân vật đóng một vai trò nào đó trong đời tư của Leo Junker, đó là chưa kể đến công tố viên và bố mẹ của Leo cũng xuất hiện trong truyện. Cứ mỗi lần sang chương mới, đổi nhân vật đổi bối cảnh là phải cố nhớ lại đây là ai, thuộc phe phái nào, mấy chương trước câu chuyện của người này đã diễn tiến tới đâu, bây giờ mình đang đọc quá khứ hay hiện tại. Nói chung là hơi "nhọc nhằn", không hợp gu.
Hoàn toàn không hối tiếc là đã đọc quyển này (do muốn thay đổi và muốn khám phá tác giả mới), vì đúng ra nó cũng không tệ, có thể chỉ là do không hợp ý thích cá nhân, nhưng bản thân không cho được hơn 3 sao trong số 5 sao. Điểm trung bình hiện giờ trên Goodreads là 3,32. Đối với tôi là khá chính xác.

Ein Soziologe wird in einem Hinterhof ermordet und der einzige Zeuge ist ein sechsjähriger Junge. Für Leo Junker ist der erste Fall nach seiner Rückkehr in den Polizeidienst kein Einfacher. Er steht unter Beobachtung, nicht nur wegen seines körperlichen Zustands, sondern auch wegen seines psychischen. Und kaum dass sein Kollege und er die erste brauchbare Spur entdeckt haben, wird ihnen der Fall schon wieder entzogen. Aber genau das reizt Leo erst recht, den Fall weiter zu bearbeiten.

Leo Junker ist wieder einer von den kaputten Ermittlern, die man oft in Krimis findet. Ein Ereignis in der Vergangenheit hat ihn gebrochen (ich habe den ersten Teil nicht gelesen, deshalb weiß ich nicht, wie weit der erste Fall für diesen Zustand verantwortlich ist). Zurück aus der unfreiwilligen Pause kommt ein Mann, der Probleme mit seinen Mitmenschen und Schmerzmitteln hat. Das schränkt ihn in seinen Ermittlungen teilweise sehr ein, denn manche Zusammenhänge hätte er mit klarem Kopf sicherlich früher erkannt.

Auf der anderen Seite ist der Fall so verwickelt, dass es auch für einen klaren Geist schwer ist, durchzusteigen. Niemand scheint wirklich derjenige zu sein, der er auf den ersten Blick ist. Es gibt Verschwörungen innerhalb einer Verschwörung und das macht es schwer zu erkennen, wer gut oder böse ist. Das Erschreckende ist, dass alles trotzdem sehr realistisch klingt, gerade was die Einblicke in die rechte Szene betrifft. Das hat in mir ein ungutes Gefühl geweckt.

Auf mich hat "Schmutziger Schnee" schwerfällig gewirkt, was mich am Anfang etwas beim Lesen gebremst hat. Aber der Stil passt nicht nur zum Ermittler, sondern auch zur Handlung, deshalb habe ich mich im Verlauf der Lektüre damit versöhnt.

[Barbara Heckendorn · Rating 4 out of 5]

The second volume of the Leo Junker series was also exciting from the first page to the last.
A sociologist who researched political fringe groups is found murdered in a Stockholm backyard. Leo Junker discovers that the victim had received warnings of an impending assassination attempt. Shortly afterwards, the case is taken away from him for no reason and handed over to the Swedish secret service. Leo is alarmed: this can only mean that the investigation is being manipulated. This only fuels Leo's ambition: he sets everything in motion to find out why the sociologist really had to die. And how to prevent the impending terrible assassination at the last second.
Together with his colleague Birck, he tries to solve the case. In addition, this case does not exactly make his return to the police service easy. And he has to prove to everyone what he tries to convince himself of every day: that he has recovered physically and mentally and is completely fit for work.

På niveau med etteren, svensk krimi med rod i Sjöwall & Wahlöö.

[Corinna Pehla · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ein bekannter Soziologe wird in Stockholm ermordet. Schnell wird klar, dass der Fall brisanter ist, als zunächst gedacht. Denn das Opfer stand in Verbindung mit gewaltbereiten Randgruppen und so kommt Leo Junker zurück in den Polizeidienst und gerät zwischen die Fronten der rechts- und linksextremen Gruppierungen.
Nur aus welchem Motiv wurde der Mord verübt und wer hat es getan?



„Schmutziger Schnee“ ist der zweite Fall für Leo Junker.
Hier noch einmal die Reihenfolge:

1) Der Turm der toten Seelen
2) Schmutziger Schnee

„Endlich mal wieder ein nordischer Krimi“ habe ich gedacht, als ich „Schmutziger Schnee“ von Christoffer Carlsson in den Händen hielt. Eine Zeit lang habe ich Krimis aus Skandinavien inhaliert und es wurde mal wieder Zeit dies aufzufrischen.

Der Schreibstil von Christoffer Carlsson ist nüchtern und sachlich, wobei er auch emotional sein kann, wenn es um seinen Kommissar Leo Junker geht. Halt typisch skandinavisch, wie ich finde.

Leo Junker trägt noch innere Narben von seinem letzten Fall mit sich herum, ist gerade erst wieder im Polizeidienst und stark tablettenabhängig. Was natürlich nicht gerade hilfreich ist, wenn man direkt nach einer Zwangspause in einen neuen Ermittlungsfall verwickelt wird.

Was mir selber allerdings schon nach wenigen Seiten aufgefallen ist war, dass ich ohne die Kenntnisse vom ersten Fall ein paar Wissenslücken habe, die sich nur schwer schließen lassen. Immer wieder werden Anspielungen gemacht, immer wieder tauchen Dinge und Personen auf die mit der jetzigen Situation wenig zu tun haben. Große Erklärungen gibt es nicht und deswegen finde ich das Lesen vom ersten Fall durchaus empfehlenswert.
Denn dies alles erleichterte natürlich auch nicht unbedingt meinen Lesefluss.

Was mir gefallen hat, war die brisante Situation in Schweden (und auch momentan im übrigen Europa), die Christoffer Carlsson zum Mittelpunkt des Krimis macht. Beide Seiten werden beleuchtet und es ist erschreckend, wie gewaltbereit diese Gruppierungen ihre Meinung vertreten.

Trotzdem und dies ist der Knackpunkt, der Fall konnte mich nicht fesseln. Ich wurde weder mit Leo Junker warm, was vielleicht auch daran liegt das ich den Vorgänger nicht kenne und der Roman bediente für mich einfach zu viele Sichtweisen.
Der Autor beleuchtet den Mord von der Seite der Ermittler, aber auch aus den Blickwinkeln anderer Personen. Gerne hätte ich hier weniger Sprünge im Buch gehabt. Mir selber gefallen immer die Ermittlungsarbeiten der Kommissare und hier waren sie auf Dauer zu rar gestreut.
Was mich zu Beginn noch fesseln konnte, wurde zum Ende hin einfach nicht mehr packend. Das Buch schleppte sich für mich, hatte zwar auch seine spannenden Szenen, wich aber doch vom Fall etwas ab und durchleuchtete die Randgruppierungen mehr, als die Ermittlungsarbeit.
Mir hätte hier eine Tendenz in die Polizeiarbeit deutlich besser gefallen.

Mein Fazit:
Dieses Buch durchleuchtet einen aktuellen und interessanten Bereich unserer Gesellschaft. Was erschreckend wirkt. Trotzdem zog mich „Schmutziger Schnee“ zwar zu Beginn an, hatte dann aber einen deutlichen Leerlauf um zum Ende hin wieder etwas besser zu werden.
Mich konnte es leider nicht komplett überzeugen.

This is an incredibly strong crime novel, I would venture to say that among contemporary crime fiction it is in the absolute top! … This is not a rush job, rather it is solid work crafted by a young man who impresses with his maturity and his analysis of the dark side of Sweden.

Christoffer Carlsson has once again written a beautiful crime novel. Complex, topical and with stylistic verve … This is brilliant and promising.
Borås Tidning

One of Sweden’s most interesting crime authors … Carefully crafted language that is at times very poetic, without becoming over-saturated. It isn’t too long either … Every word carries meaning, every character has fascinating psychological depth.

Per-Axel Svensson, Borås Tidning

An exceedingly relevant, insider deep-dive into a terrifying world where violence and blind obedience is the rule. But also a convincing tale of friendship and betrayal, relationships and double loyalties. A dark, thrilling story that feels close to reality.
Aftonbladet

I seldom appreciate authors who write genre novels, but Carlsson does it so well that one is tempted to call it a reinvention of the genre.
Hallandsposten (SE)

The Falling Detective develops into an ambitious political thriller with an unnervingly topical — and fully plausible — plot … A suspense novel miles above average. So, what is The Swedish Crime Writers’ Academy to do this year?
Jönköping-Posten

… Life-or-death stakes but also literary acrobatics that lure the reader in … Christoffer Carlsson is truly a master of mixing play with gravity and crime genre nostalgia with contemporary realism … Christoffer Carlsson loves the crime genre and that love makes me love reading his books.
Gunilla Wedding, Norra Skåne

Christoffer Carlsson has done it again … a truly excellent crime novel.
Smålandsposten

The best part with The Falling Detective is the psychosocial point of view originating from everyday life in the neglected neighbourhoods, showing how they've been forgotten by society. This creates a breeding ground for extremism.
Helsingin Sanomat

The Falling Detective is an extremely well-written crime novel, but it’s also more than that. It’s a novel that ought to appeal to a much broader audience than the typical crime reader. It’s well-written, thrilling and encapsulated in a dense atmosphere.
Den Döda Zonen

This story hits at the very core of our contemporary society. What I like about this author is that he doesn’t just focus on the suspense of the plot, but is a master at depicting how class and upbringing shapes us into who we are.

2,5/5 ⭐

Aunque me ha entretenido la lectura, en general he sentido que no me enteraba de nada, era muy confuso. Cambiaban de punto de vista demasiado constantemente y, al no tener nombres al inicio de los capítulos, lo he sentido un poco confuso. También me ha dispersado el cómo iban atrás y adelante en el tiempo y hasta al final prácticamente no me he enterado de ello.

También he sentido que, si se ha resuelto el caso, no ha sido gracias a la investigación policial, tan solo estaban allí y se fueron dando otros sucesos entre los personajes culpables hasta que al final han dado con el culpable casi de casualidad. Además, al final se acaba centrando más en el entramado político que en otra cosa, y siento que a la víctima inicial no se le termina dando la importancia que debería, como si fuese un suceso de menor relevancia.

No ha sido un libro pesado pero igualmente he sentido que avanzaba extremadamente lento, quizá porque no me estaba enterando demasiado bien. Quizá otros libros de la saga sean mejores, pero este no lo recomendaría de primeras.

Välillä vaikutti mielenkiintoiselta tekstiltä mutta välillä mietti kovasti että miten tämä liittyy aiheeseen. Oli hieman hämmentävä kirja ja mielest��ni paljon kerrottiin asioita joita ei ehkä olisi tarvinnut. Välillä oli toistoa. En oikein osaa arvioida tätä. Kyllä tän nyt luki mutta täytyy miettiä luenko muita osia. Olisiko tämä avautunut enemmän jos olisin lukenut Varjot ennen tätä? Tosin nyt ei minulla ollut mahdollisuutta siihen koska tämä kirja poistuu Bookbeatin valikoimasta eikä Varjoja ollut enää siellä.

[Fenja Terp · Rating 5 out of 5]

Endnu en velskrevet krimi af svenske Christoffer Carlsson.

En fortælling om at tro så meget på sin overbevisning, at man nemt kan fare vild i de ekstremistiske miljøer. Om at finde venner og fællesskaber, når man mest mangler dem. Om at miste venner, man havde og som var vigtige. Om at tro på sagen og derfor tilsidesætte alt andet.

Carlssons har skrevet en fin og medrivende nordic noir, der tager os med ud i de ekstreme miljøer på både højre- og venstrefløjen. Historien er drevet af et opgør, som måske er på vej, måske allerede er i gang og måske i grunden har været i gang i årevis.

Det er andet bind i serien om Leo Junker og den er lige så medrivende som den første bog. Desværre er resten af serien ikke oversat til dansk, men forhåbentlig sker det snart, da Christoffer Carlsson virkelig skriver godt og hans bøger skiller sig ud fra mængden af svenske krimier.

Hard to follow because of the way it kept switching POV / going back in time without any real warning. Interesting plot line but I didn’t really care about any of the characters so I wasn’t very invested. Good story and the way things tied together was very satisfying.

En mörk och lite deppig polisroman om ett brott som har sin grund i kampen mellan höger- och vänsterextremister. Läsaren lämnas inte med mycket hopp om att de politiska extremiströrelsernas kamp kommer att avta, tvärtom. Annars är boken välskriven och spännande, men ämnet som sagt, ämnet …
