Praise for Never End

Åke Edwardson writes great endings... Never End [is] a novel with the most exhilarating final 50 pages in recent crime fiction

The Toronto Star

It's a chilling story that delves into the sordid underbelly of the city's illegal club nightlife. Edwardson leaves generous space for his detectives' personal lives, with one real shocker

Daneet Steffens, Time Out

This series is a tough, smart, police procedural... and has the same gritty edge and great characters as the best of Ed McBain's 87th Precinct books

The Globe and Mail

Top-class crime fiction... An unerring sense of pace, good tension, more than averagely believable characters and some neat twists

The Times
