Publisher's Synopsis
The excitement around Scandinavian crime fiction has focused largely on Sweden, but Finland - as poignantly revealed here - is equally dark, grisly and strong in the noir department. Helsinki's endless bays and islands offer a killer plenty of places to dump a body and, because winter days can often contain less than six hours of daylight, hiding in dark corners is almost too easy. The authors of Helsinki Noir take full advantage of this as they pen more grisly short stories in the true spirit of Akashic's award-winning Noir series.
