Murder on the Thirty-first Floor by Per Wahloo

I read this May 2013

I bought this on impulse at the counter in Waterstones...

Billed as the Godfather of Scandinavian crime fiction

This is set in an unnamed country, city and time.
A bit Brave New World/ 1984 ish...but a crime thriller.
I was amazed at how modern it seemed, a potentail terrist bomb in a skyscraper. The Media owned by a Monopoly...The only things that date it are the use of typewriters, no computers and landline telephones.  But very readable and enjoyable... in so many ways actually ahead of it's time.

8/10
