“A good story can travel in time and borders; it hits you no matter whe...” — Hakan Nesser Quote

“A good story can travel in time and borders; it hits you no matter where you are.”

“I was a late bloomer. I was 38 when my first book was out and 43 when my first crime novel was out. I had a story that could only be told as a crime story. I think the genre is good; it deals with the fundamental questions of life and death. The problem is there are too many bad crime stories.”

“I am not a political writer. I agree with Stieg Larsson and Henning Mankell, who are social writers. I can't write in that fashion. I am not good enough for that. What I am interested in is family dramas and why we are doing bad things to each other and what our motives are.”

“Being in the acting profession, I am grateful because I get to travel for my work to different destinations.”

“I travel in a Ford Econoline van with a trailer. So it's not quite so glamorous.”

“I need to travel, of course, with my laptop, so I can do my business on the road.”
