Hello!
Tre sekunder is the fifth novel by Roslund/Hellström, and for now we only have the first one (Odjuret, The beast) translated into French. I haven’t read it… yet.
Thanks to the Deckarakademi I’ve recently discovered Ingrid Hedström, and I’m also interested by Lönnaeus’ book (BTW “sona” means to expiate).
