"“A world whose vocabulary is shaped by American gangsta rap but whose greed and ambition is familiar to anybody who ever cracked open a Mario Puzo crime novel.""--The Wall Street Journal    ""An entirely new criminal world, beautifully rendered."" --James Ellroy     ""[Lapidus] sheds light on a rarely seen Stockholm—a city that is a 'Mecca of thieves, drug dealers, and gangs,' buzzing with ethnic tensions and social unrest.""—The New Yorker   ""A grand-scale portrait of Stockholm's criminal world that shares James Ellroy's hyperrealism and Richard Price's blend of atmosphere and sociology.""—Booklist "

It's a world whose vocabulary is shaped by American gangsta rap but whose greed and ambition is familiar to anybody who ever cracked open a Mario Puzo crime novel. --The Wall Street Journal Online A grand-scale portrait of Stockholm's criminal world that shares James Ellroy's hyperrealism and Richard Price's blend of atmosphere and sociology. --Booklist 'Svens' (native Swedes) collide with immigrant groups, from Middle Easterners to ruthlessly organized gangs of 'Yugos' and 'Turks, ' in the gritty second novel in Lapidus's Stockholm Noir trilogy. . . . Its morally ambiguous characters and rough street argot will compel reader attention to the last page. -- Publishers Weekly A delightfully murky tale of sunny Sweden's rough 'n' tumble dark side . . . It's like visiting the perfect party: exciting guests, great location. -- 8Weekly (Netherlands) Lapidus is a master raconteur. The story is irresistible. --Kouvolan Sanomat (Finland) It's rare for a first novelist to emerge out of nowhere and turn an entire genre upside down, but that is exactly what happened when Jens Lapidus roared into Swedish crime fiction with Easy Money . . . He is alone in his game. --Svenska Dagbladet (Sweden) Lapidus doesn't fuck up. He delivers. --Helsingsborgs Dagblad (Sweden) A deft and bold crime novel. --Berlingske (Denmark) From the Hardcover edition.
