It was recently announced that CBS All Access has ordered the true crime drama Interrogation, created by Anders Weidemann and John Mankiewicz. CBS has now revealed that Peter Sarsgaard will play the detective on the case. Sarsgaard most recently starred in Hulu’s 9/11 series The Looming Tower.
Interrogation is based on the true story of a young man who was charged with and convicted of the brutal murder of his mother. Each episode centers on an interrogation taken directly from the real police case files. The series has an original format and will be experimenting with its release pattern. The first nine episodes of the series will be available to watch in any order, and the conclusive season finale will be released at a later date.
Weidemann is the first Swedish screenwriter to write and produce an American TV series based on his own original idea, and this news has garnered great attention in Swedish media.
Jo Nesbø and Stina Jackson each claim one No. 1 position on the official weekly bestseller lists in Sweden. Nesbø is No. 1 on the paperback list with Macbeth, and Jackson on the e-book list with The Silver Road. Jackson’s debut novel also claims two No. 2 spots on the paperback and audio lists. Lars Kepler continues to feature on the hardcover list with Lazarus, which is No. 4 this week.
Lars Kepler’s Lazarus, the seventh Joona Linna novel, appears at No. 5 on the official Norwegian bestseller list for hardcover fiction in week 2 (January 7-13th). The book is also No. 2 in e-book. This marks the novel’s twelfth week on the hardcover and e-book lists.
When Vincent is born, he is unique. He is the first child in history to have been born from a transplanted uterus.
The Road to Vincent is the story of Malin, who in her teens was told that she’d been born without a uterus, and would never be able to have children of her own. It’s the story of Claes, who meets the girl of his dreams but has to make the toughest decision of his life when he hears of her condition. It’s about Malin and Claes together and their refusal to give up on one another and their wish for a family, even as it takes them on a long and life-threatening journey into the field of groundbreaking medical experiments. The stakes are high, but if they succeed, not only will they have a family – they’ll be the first in the world to become the parents of a baby born from a transplanted uterus.
The Road to Vincent is also the story of the heroes behind the scenes: Ewa, who selflessly donated her uterus despite the risk the procedure entailed, and Professor Mats Brännström and his team, who in the face of nay-sayers, ethical discussions and repeated failure continued to pursue the historical medical break-through that would give new hope to childless couples all over the world.
Together, these iron wills created a miracle: Vincent.
Henrietta Westman (b. 1970) is a Swedish journalist with more than twenty years of experience in the profession. Throughout her career, Westman has written for several of Sweden’s biggest newspapers. The Road to Vincent is her first book and the true story of the miraculous medical break-through that resulted in the birth of Vincent, the first baby to be born from a transplanted uterus.
Dagens Nyheter, Sweden’s largest national newspaper, has announced a list of the ten crime novels most worth looking forward to this spring. One of the must-reads on the list is The Legacy by Yrsa Sigurdardóttir, the first installment in her Freyja & Huldar series.
The official Swedish bestseller lists for 2018 have just been released, and the undeniable champion of the past year is Lars Kepler with Lazarus.

[SON is] definitely a promising start of a series. And the double cliffhanger right at the very end is masterful and elevates the final score another notch.

Andrzej Tichý’s novel about a Sweden in dissolution challenges both the conventional novel form and the belief that social reforms are of any use whatsoever. /…/ Book of Events is a rejection of the notion of a central perspective. This is the literary form of social disintegration. This is literature that, also stylistically, seeks to reveal the collapse of social democratic Sweden.
– Politiken
Andrzej Tichý has written a polyphonic masterpiece about the Europe of the displaced. /…/ Book of Events is a novel that seeks the novel as a form of cognition. In this lies part of its hopefulness: in the attempt against all odds, in the movement through space and time, across planes of abstraction, between realism and unreality, from one word to the next.

Diamonds and Rust is a story about wounds that never heal, about envy, betrayal and revenge, and about a crime so well and thoroughly thought out that it may never be solved. Not unless Hanne Wilhelmsen gets a chance to try.
