English Translations of Scandinavian/Nordic Mysteries & Thrillers discussion

NetGalley has under General Fiction and also under Mysteries & Thrillers the book "Die For Me" by Jesper Stein to be published 23 January 2020. Denmark.

A serial rapist wreaks havoc in Copenhagen. The police investigation is hampered not only by the absence of evidence or clues to the attacker’s identity, but also by the force’s own incompetence and prejudice.

A DNA sample links the attacks to the cold case that caused DI Axel Steen’s wife to leave him four years earlier. Steen becomes obsessed with solving the case, a desperate grasp at reconciliation, but his self-destructive behaviour only serves to alienate his wife further. His increasingly volatile behaviour also causes his former police partner, now his boss, to question his competence.

Axel Steen’s hunt for the rapist is a rollercoaster ride of agonising near misses, heart stopping breakthroughs and a desperate search for a perpetrator who will stop at nothing to outwit the police.

A raw and tense thriller as well as a forensic dissection of a police investigation gone wrong. As Axel Steen becomes more and more obsessed with the case, it becomes clear that men who hate women are found at every level of society.

He wrote Unrest which was the Winner of the Danish Crime Academy's 2018 Novel of the Year.

Jesper Stein: Unrest and Die for Me. When are more of his books going to be translated. I've finished the two I've mentioned. Now I'm hooked and would love to read MORE! The next one to come out was The Raven. I can't believe that such a popular author with many awards for his books have not been translated as yet.
