I will be picking up the newest release from Liza Marklund today. There is a sticker on the front of this book naming her the "The Queen of Scandinavian Crime Fiction" I have heard that this book has already been picked up for a movie and possibly already into filming. The only thing I have not figured out yet is if that is just a film in her country or the US. I have never read anything by her before and looking forward to it.
I could not find the information on goodreads yet for this edition (which I found really interesting) so here are the details from Amazon.com
HOW FAR WILL A MADMAN GO TO ATTAIN THE ULTIMATE PRIZE? In the midst of a brutal Scandinavian winter, a member of the Nobel Prize committee is gunned down in the city of Stockholm.
Reporter Annika Bengtzon, who made eye contact with the killer just seconds before the shots were fired, is the key witness. Because of the sensitivity of the crime, police issue a gag order on her immediately—and she is forced to figure out on her own why an American assassin known only as “the Kitten” ordered the hit. With her marriage falling to pieces and her job on the line, Annika quickly finds herself in the middle of a violent story of terror and death, the roots of which date back centuries. The research all leads her to the same man: a rich and famous industrialist responsible for one of the world’s most coveted gifts, who died a tragic and mysterious death. If Annika wants to learn the truth, she risks uncovering secrets that some will do anything to protect.
