Hoffman & Grens #7

“So what you’re saying is that we are suddenly in some kind of … well, crime novel about serial killers? You know I don’t do such things, never have – for the simple reason that there are no Swedish serial killers, never has been.”

But, if they do not exist:
Why is a body drained of blood?
Why is another body crushed, bone by bone, and a third burned with various liquids?
How reliable is really a reliable piece of DNA evidence?
And – what really happened to criminal detective Ewert Grens, he who shot himself to end it all?

In this installment of the Hoffman & Grens series, Anders Roslund shows that he is one of the greatest crime writers of our time. 100 Percent is a ruthless thriller impossible to put away.

Reviews

  • “It probably goes without saying that Anders Roslund’s Ewert Grens books are still unbeatable.”

    Eesti Päevaleht, Estonia

  • “Roslund’s strongly empathetic prose, coupled with the pressing urgency of societal issues, illuminates a captivating crime novel that expands the boundaries of violence, both in the realm of real police work and in the intellectual and emotional lives of the characters.”

    ★★★★★

    Jyllands-Posten, Denmark

  • “It is cleverly constructed /…/ It is cleverly written, and it is difficult not to turn the page.”

    Nyhetsmorgon, Sweden

  • “A new novel with Grens and Hoffman is a call for celebration for friends of well written and gripping crime novels. Anders Roslund’s name guarantees thrilling fiction which also offers the reader something beyond enchanting entertainment. The intrigues are well thought through, the illustration of the criminal world pitch black, even if the bad guys themselves often are nuanced and complex.”

    BTJ, Sweden

  • “I haven’t read that suggestive details for a long time … 100 Percent is a masterpiece.”

    Krajské listy, Czech Republic

  • “Even the most spoiled and quality-conscious crime readers will be held in an iron grip from beginning to end (…) It doesn’t get much better than when Anders Roslund, a writer like few others, once again delivers a crime novel where plot, composition, pace, and psychology come together in a higher unity.”

    DBC, Denmark

  • “Anders Roslund writes in such a captivating way that one cannot stop reading.”

    Dagens Nyheter, Sweden

  • Anders Roslund has made the characters he created together with Börge Hellström entirely his own. 100 Percent is sharply written and immensely thrilling.

    Sundsvalls Tidning, Sweden

  • “Anders Roslund really is 100 percent /…/ 400 action-packed pages /…/ If he’s not already the best crime writer of the country, then there are very few in front of him. The language flows and the pace is fast.”

    Nya Kristinehamns-Posten, Sweden

  • “One hundred percent guaranteed that this is suspense at its best!”

    Kapprakt, Sweden

  • “Anders Roslund’s writing is witty and engaging and the narrative has impressive momentum. The research is extensive, but Roslund does not forget to describe the humans behind the characters in a warm and illustrating way.”

    Mariestads-Tidningen, Sweden

  • “A hundred percent suspense. /…/ Anders Roslund masters the art of telling a story and offers you a convincing view of Stockholm from the eyes of criminal gangs.”

    Ölandsbladet, Sweden

  • “Well-constructed and riveting!”

    Dast Magazine, Sweden

  • “Roslund really demonstrates his top form with 100 Percent. He digs deep, not only into the core of police work, but also into the private lives of the characters. The image he sketches of the criminal world in Sweden seems extremely obscure. A major plus is the extremely accessible way in which [Roslund] – as an insider – talks about the procedures of DNA research. /…/ The complications in 100 Percent are masterfully conceived and equally well-executed. The suspense is never far away. [Roslund] does not shy away from current social themes. /…/ Roslund easily upholds himself as one of Sweden’s most prominent crime writers. /…/ 100 Percent is a brilliant thriller in all aspects. The rock-solid plot, the unrelenting pace, as well as the psychological effect lift the story to a very high level.”
