I recently started reading Henning Mankell's books, after watching the Wallender series on TV. He is a terrific detective writer. Another Swedish writere of the same calibre is Stieg Larsson, with his Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series.
The three Makell books I have read are, The Dogs of Riga, Firewall and Faceless Killers.

^^ Mankell is a good writer. I prefer his work to that of Steig Larsson.

Both are good, Jo Nesbo is an excellent writer as well, I have read a couple of his, and just purchased The Snowman by Nesbo.

Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö are not to be overlooked either. Too bad they wrote so few.
