Nordic Noir from Denmark at Warsaw Book Fair

Scandinavian crime fiction has been a good literary brand in the last years. Danish Cultural Institute in Warsaw invited four Danish crime novelists to take part in Warsaw Book Fair.

The author talk took place on the main scene, where the audience could see and hear the siblings Lotte and Søren Hammer, Michael Katz Krefeld and Jacob Weinreich as well as one of the two authors writing together under the pseudonym A.J. Kazinski. A new book by this writing duo is planned to be published in Poland this year and in late autumn Polish readers will be able to get Michael Katz Krefeld’s latest crime story.

Within the last five years Polish fans of the genre have had the chance to read over a dozen novels by nine Danish authors:
