In 2007 Lars Martin Johansson, the head of the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation in Sweden, was approaching retirement and he had one unsolved case which he would dearly love to clear: the murder of Prime Minister Olof Palme in 1986. Palme, without bodyguards, had left a cinema in central Stockholm with his wife and was walking home when he was shot in the back. He died almost instantly and his wife suffered a minor injury, whilst the assassin sprinted away into the people milling around in the city. There were witnesses to the killing and people who saw the killer as he escaped. Sometime after the death a man was convicted of the murder, but he was later cleared and more than twenty years later the identity of the killer is still a mystery.
In It was in 2007 Lars Martin Johansson, the head of the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation in Sweden, that I went to visit my daughter who was approaching retirement and he had one unsolved case which he would dearly love to clear: the murder of Prime Minister Olof Palme living in 1986Stockholm. PalmeAfter a pleasant morning wandering around the city, without bodyguardswe found ourselves in the dress department in Nordiska Kompaniet, had left a cinema department store in central the centre of Stockholm with his wife and was walking home when he was shot in the back. He died almost instantly I commented on how much I liked the city, how safe I felt and his wife suffered a minor injurymy daughter told me about the murder of Anna Lindh, whilst the assassin sprinted away into the people milling around Minister for Foreign Affairs, who was stabbed in the cityNK dress department. There were witnesses It seemed crass to the killing and people who saw the killer as he escaped. Some time after the death a man enquire if it was convicted of still in the murdersame place, but he we walked on and my daughter added that there was later cleared and more than twenty years later also the identity murder of the killer is still a mysteryOlof Palme for which no one had been brought to justice.
It was in 2007 that I went Johansson set a team of detectives to visit my daugher who was living wade through the millions of documents accumulated in Stockholm. After a pleasant morning wandering around the city we found ourselves in course of the dress department in Nordiska Kompaniet, a department store in original investigations into the centre of Stockholmmurder. I commented on how much I liked the cityOf course, how safe I felt and my daughter told me about they weren't actually looking into the ''murder of Anna Lindh, '' itself - that would create a media storm - they were looking into indexing all the Minister for Foreign Affairsdocuments, which had a room to themselves. They're a good team with a good balance of skills who was stabbed in look at all the NK dress department. It seemed crass different 'tracks' to enquire if the investigation - it was still thought that various groups might have been involved in the same place, but we walked on murder and my daughter added that there each was also given a 'track'. One track emerges as being more credible than the murder others and the group find themselves deep in a conspiracy theory. There's a lot of Olof Palme for the book which no one had been brought to justiceis a fact but the blending with fiction is seamless and the conclusions drawn are compelling.
Johansson set Leif G W Persson is a renowned criminologist as well as being a team of detectives to wade through the millions of documents accumulated leading psychological profiler and his background shows clearly in the course of the original investigations into the murder. Of course, they weren't actually looking into the 'Falling Freely, As If In A Dream'murder'' itself - that would create a media storm - they were looking into indexing all the documents, which had a room to themselves. TheyThere're a good team with a good balance of skills who look at s all the different detail of 'tracks' to the investigation - it was thought that various groups might have been involved in the murder and each was given a real'track'. One track emerges police work, such as being more credible I've found in books by [[:Category:Lisa Cutts|Lisa Cutts]] or [[:Category:Elizabeth Haynes|Elizabeth Haynes]] and the emphasis is on teamwork rather than the others individual who goes out and solves the group find themselves deep in a conspiracy theorycrime all on his own. There's a lot of the book which Persson is fact good with dialogue and excellent at characterisation, but for me, the blending with fiction is seamless and real treat was the city of Stockholm - it was a real pleasure to wander the conclusions drawn are compellingstreets again.
Leif G W Persson is The book might look like a renowned criminologist as well as being a leading psychological profiler and his background shows clearly in ''Falling Freelybrick, As If In A Dreambut short chapters encourage the 'just a few more pages'instinct and I found it a surprisingly quick read. There's all the detail of ''real'' police work, such as I've found in books by [[:Category:Lisa Cutts|Lisa Cutts]] or [[:Category:Elizabeth Haynes|Elizabeth Haynes]] and the emphasis is on teamwork rather than the individual who goes out and solves d like to thank the crime all on his own. Persson is good with dialogue and excellent at characterisation, but publishers for me the real treat was the city of Stockholm - it was sending a real pleasure copy to wander the streets againBookbag.
The book might look like a brick, but short chapters encourage the 'just few more pages' instinct and I found it a surprisingly quick read. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. If this book appeals then you might also enjoy [[The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson and Reg Keeland (translator)|The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson]]- but then you probably knew that already! We've also enjoyed [[Another Time, Another Life by Leif G W Persson]]. For more unsolved crime, try [[Charlesgate Confidential by Scott Von Doviak]].
