Review:
International Praise for K.O. Dahl and "The Fourth Man"
"A Norwegian Mankell." --"Norra Vasterbotten" (Sweden)
"I have read many clever and thrilling crime novels through my life, but often they have nothing to do with real life. If I don't believe in them, they don't impress me. But when K.O. Dahl tells his stories, I believe every single word." --Karin Fossum, author of "The Indian Bride
""An absorbing study of sexual enthrallment, dogged police work and a harrowing twist or two: Fans of procedurals...will snap this one up." --"Kirkus
""Recommend to fans of Karin Fossum and Kjell Eriksson. Dahl is a formidable talent whose books may well become as popular in the US as in Norway." --"Booklist
""A crime master of style... Dahl's original trait, the rich language, is here fully developed. He is perhaps the most literary of our crime writers. He fully masters the use of images and re-takes that serve to emphasize and strengthen the text, the latter a risky business regardless of genre. In addition to this, he is a proper devil at describing emotions, and throughout the entire spectrum at that.... Conclusion: Kjell Ola Dahl has again written an excellent crime novel." --"Aftenposten" (Norway)
"Effective and entertaining crime....We let ourselves be both mesmerized and entertained..." --"Adresseavisen" (Norway)
"Elite crime writing... Kjell Ola Dahl is one of the big names of Norwegian crime fiction, and "The Fourth Man" shows why: here, the plot is effectively narrated, the drive forward is dynamic and the reader is served his seconds over and over again..." --"Stavanger Aftenblad" (Norway)
"High-shine crime... a crime novel solidly and aptly constructed. Chock full of action, with precise shifts in tempo, sparkling good dialogue and a plot that carries all the way through." --"Bergens Tidende" (Norway)
"A suspenseful and well costructed story... Stringent and directed towards an astounding denouement." --"Munchner Merkur" (Germany)
..".an excellent crime novel has seen the light of day..." --"Hersfelder Zeitung" (Germany)
