Praise:

“We are thrilled that we will have opportunity to present Elina Backman to Polish readers. WHEN THE KING DIES is truly amazing – fast-paced, gripping, with relatable characters (who could be a better protagonist than Saana – TV and pizza addict who decides to change her life?). We can’t wait to see what happens next!”

Dominika Dudarew-Osiecka, editor, Czarna Owca, Poland

“We are so excited to broaden our crime list with this exciting work of extremely talented Elina Backman. No doubt Lithuanian readers will welcome this new star from Finland with open arms.”
– Ieva Savukynaitė-Dubicka, Project Manager, BALTO, Lithuania

”A new star on the Nordic crime scene. With a real page-turner that keeps the readers on their toes until the end.”
– Henrik Lindvall, Publisher, Bokfabriken, Sweden

“We are simply delighted to have Elina Backman on our crime list!! Her debut Kun kuningas kuolee is smart, confident, exciting, elegant, entertaining and more!”
– Ida Cleve, Editor, Cappelen Damm, Norway
“Elina Backman is a very exciting addition to our crime list and we are very proud to be able to publish her. With the fantastic WHEN THE KING DIES and the plans for her second book already in development we have every confidence she is more than capable of becoming as popular as authors such as Jo Nesbø, Lars Kepler and Hjorth Rosenfeldt. Dutch and Flemish readers love high quality crime fiction from Scandinavia, and Elina Backman is one of the most exciting new voices we have recently come across.”
– Chris Kooi, Acquiring Editor, Cargo/De Bezige Bij, the Netherlands
