You guys, this one had me reading late late late into the night. A novel that reads like a season of “Broadchurch” or “Mare of Easttown,” Blaze Me a Sun transports us to rural Western Sweden to masterfully unspool a deeply moving story of family, community, and the legacies of shame and violence. With its profound moral questions and artful structure, this is crime writing at its best. Anthony Marra says, “Christoffer Carlsson is to the police procedural what Cormac McCarthy is to the Western...the perfect novel.” Although Blaze Me a Sun marks Christoffer's American debut, he comes with exceptional pedigree. He is the youngest writer to win the Best Swedish Crime Novel of the Year Award, whose past winners include Larsson, Henning Mankell, and Asa Larsson. He has a PhD in Criminology from Stockholm University, where he is currently a professor, and is one of Sweden’s leading crime experts. Christoffer writes so compellingly about crime because he understands the broad social, economic, and political forces that lead to it. It’s no wonder that Blaze Me a Sun went straight to #1 on the bestseller lists when first published in Sweden. Head over to @hogarthbooks to enter to win a galley of this exceptional Nordic Noir. Tack! 🇸🇪🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♂️ Shout out my colleague Robbin Schiff for this summery pic.
