This book looks at the rich history of 'Scandinavian noir', examines the appeal of this particular genre and attempts to reveal why it is distinct from the plethora of other crime fictions.Examining the popularity of Steig Larsson's international success with his Millennium trilogy, as well as Henning Mankell's Wallander across the various media, Peacock also tracks some lesser-known novels and television programmes. He illustrates how the bleakness of the country's 'noirs' reflects particular events and cultural and political changes, with the clash of national characteristics becoming a key feature.It will appeal to students and researchers of crime fiction and of film and television studies, as well as the many fans of the novels and dramatic representations. 606 $aDetective and mystery stories, Swedish$xHistory and criticism$y21st century$zSweden 606 $aSwedish fiction$xHistory and criticism$zSweden 606 $aDetective and mystery films$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDetective and mystery television programs$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aGermanic Literature$2HILCC 610 $aAdaptation. 610 $aCrime. 610 $aFilm. 610 $aNoir. 610 $aSweden. 610 $aTelevision. 615 0$aDetective and mystery stories, Swedish$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aSwedish fiction$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aDetective and mystery films$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aDetective and mystery television programs$xHistory and criticism 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 615 7$aGermanic Literature 676 $a791 700 $aPeacock$b Steven$01539950 702 $aPeacock$b Steven 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797718703321 996 $aSwedish crime fiction : novel, film, television$93791175 997 $aUNINA
