Paperback. Condition: Good. The first novel in Arne Dahl's gripping Intercrime series--considered one of Sweden's best--Misterioso is a piercingly dark and absorbing detective thriller.   After dismantling a bloody hostage situation at a bank outside Stockholm, Detective Paul Hjelm is dropped into an elite task-force assembled to find an elusive murderer with a sophisticated method. The killer breaks into the homes of Sweden's high-profile business leaders at night, places two bullets in their heads with deadly precision, then removes the bullets from the walls--a ritual enacted to a rare bootleg recording of Thelonious Monk's jazz classic "Misterioso." As Hjlem and the rest of the team follow one lead after another, they must navigate the murky underworld of the Russian mafia, penetrate the secret society of Sweden's wealthiest denizens, and battle one of the country's most persistent ills: a deep-rooted xenophobia that affects both the police and the perpetrator.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. From award-winning Norwegian author Arne Svingen comes an unusually exciting and funny story (Dagbladet) about a relentlessly positive teenager who uses his love of opera to cope with his less-than-perfect home life. Bart is an eternal optimist. At thirteen years old, he s had a hard life. But Bart knows that things won t get any better if you have a negative attitude. His mother has pushed him into boxing lessons so that Bart can protect himself, but Bart already has defense mechanisms: he is relentlessly positive and he loves opera. Listening to and singing opera is Bart s greatest escape, but he s too shy to share this with anyone. Then popular Ada befriends him and encourages him to perform at the school talent show. Ada can t keep a secret to save her life, but Bart bonds with her anyway, and her openness helps him realize that his troubles are not burdens that he must bear alone. The Ballad of a Broken Nose is a sweet story about bravery, fear, bullying, sports, and music. But most of all it is about the important days of your life, days when everything seems to happen at once and nothing ever will be the same again.…
