About the Book

THE SECOND THRILLER IN THE STOCKHOLM TRILOGY

'Holmén has created a brutal anti-hero quite unlike any seen in crime fiction before' Express


Harry Kvist walks out of the gates of Langholmen jail into the biting Stockholm winter of 1935. He has nothing to his name but a fiercely burning hope: that he can leave behind his old existence of gutter brawls, bruised fists and broken bones.

But the city has other ideas. Nazis are spreading their poison on the freezing streets, and one of Kvist's oldest friends has been murdered. Before he can leave Stockholm's underworld for good, he must track down the killer. As Kvist uncovers a trail of blood leading to the highest echelons of Swedish society, the former boxer finds himself in a fight to the death with his most dangerous opponent yet.

Review :
A brilliant new talent Sin City meetsRaymond Chandler in this atmospheric and compulsive series Well-crafted noir that doesn't pull its punches, hitting you in the guts with stark surprises Cleverly twisted and well-clued, and with a satisfying ending... A Nordic Sam Spade thriller, beautifully written, with fast action, memorable characters and a vividly described setting Harry Kvist with a magnificent comeback The plot is excellent, the filth and every punch palpable Praise for Clinch: Holmén has Raymond Chandler's rare ability to evoke a character in a few deft strokes Ferociously noir... If Chandler and Hammett had truly walked on the wild side, it would read like Clinch Atmospheric Scandi retro, but Chandleresque to its core If you're looking for a new addiction, try [Clinch]... it's a tough thriller that packs a punch A dark, atmospheric, powerful thriller, the best debut novel I've read in years A real tour de force... a fascinating race through 1930s Stockholm Clinch is a gritty, stylish debut from a Swedish history teacher and in Kvist he has created a brutal anti-hero quite unlike any seen in crime fiction before A clever plot woven into prose that depicts 1930s Stockholm in a detailed manner... it punches you in the face like one of Kvist's knockout blows. Definitely not for the faint-hearted Martin Holmén has created a remarkable novel that works well at many levels, ticking all the right boxes for the Scandi crime category Gritty, stylish Scandinavian noir from one of Sweden's hottest emerging authors A ferociously noir revelation of Stockholm between the wars... the sort of novel Chandler and Hammett would have written if they'd been permitted to include sex! Clinch is a fabulously classy twist on pulp fiction: it'll be a top-notch summer book for readers looking for something diverting but smart, as long as they don't mind a little blood and bonking This is noir writing at its best and you won't want to give this book a miss if you are a fan of this genre A debut that rings of Chandler... Holmén has created a unique, equally idiosyncratic as remarkable, debut crime novel Scandinavian Crime meets Film Noir, the crime novel of the year A great read Brutally entertaining
