One of the many wonderful things about Alexander Söderberg's novels, is how they upsets our expectations. His cops act like gangsters, while his gangsters (some of them) attain a startling sort of nobility. Söderberg has created an entertaining, engaging, and wonderfully bloody-minded world. He’s a great storyteller.
In The Good Wolf, the nurse and lonely mother, Sophie Brinkmann, who was involved involuntarily in the criminal world, has been declared an international search and is hiding in Prague with her son Albert. Tommy Jansson is on her tracks - he is a criminal commissioner from Stockholm, tasked with finding her. Sophie knows too much about his unclean deeds and he must, at all costs, remove her from his way so that he can continue his life peacefully. At the same time, the impoverished mafia boss Hector Guzman is hiding in a monastery in Tuscany...
Alexander Söderberg has worked as a television screenwriter and lives in the countryside in the south of Sweden with his wife and children. The Andalucian Friend is his first novel.
