Description
Cecílie Vangerová, a heroine of Swedish writer Stieg Larsson’s world-famous Millennium trilogy, sits in an armchair reading Gellert Tamas’s The Laser Man. Why is this book mentioned in one of the most successful crime series of recent years? “I wish I had written it myself,” Stieg Larsson said of Tamas’s book. What fascinated him so much? In 1991, Stockholm becomes a city of fear. An unknown attacker armed with a rifle equipped with a laser sight shoots eleven innocent people, united by one thing: the colour of their skin. In this documentary novel, Gellert Tamas takes readers into the mind of the murderer, who later also becomes a model for Anders Breivik. The story unfolds along two parallel narrative lines: one follows the life of the laser man, John Ausonius, while the other traces the investigation, as dozens of police officers try to catch the killer. The result is a true reportage crime novel that becomes one of the most widely read Swedish non-fiction books ever.
