Helsinki Noir Book Launch & Panel

In recognition of Helsinki Noir’s debut, book contributors Leena Lehtolainen and Riikka Ala-Harja sit down for a conversation on the state of Finnish crime fiction, moderated by Brooklyn Noir editor Tim McLoughlin.

The excitement around Scandinavian crime fiction coming in the wake of Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has focused largely on Sweden, but Finland – as poignantly revealed in Helsinki Noir – is equally strong in the noir department. Helsinki Noir joinsCopenhagen Noir in representing the Akashic Noir Series in the far north of Europe.

The book features brand-new stories by Leena Lehtolainen, Johanna Holmström, James Thompson, Antti Tuomainen, Jesse Itkonen, Joe L. Murr, Jukka Petäjä, Tapani Bagge, Pekka Hiltunen, Teemu Käskinen, Tuomas Lius, Riikka Ala-Harja, Karo Hämäläinen, and Jarkko Sipilä.
