But the detainee, a suspect in an Islamist-inspired terror attack in the United States, refuses to talk.Ernst Grip, a Swedish security officer, has no idea why he's been dispatched to New York City. The FBI agent he meets on arrival, Shauna Friedman, seems to know a little too much about him. And when he arrives at his real destination, the American authorities have just one question: Is their terror suspect a Swedish citizen?In the process of uncovering the prisoner's true identity, Grip discovers the man's ties to a group of other suspects—a ruthless American arms dealer, a Czech hit man, a mysterious nurse from Kansas, and a heartbreakingly naive Pakistani. The closer Grip gets to the truth, the more complicated the deception becomes. Who is real and who is leading a double life?...

The Swede Reviews
"For several years---a fucking eternity---they let all the races on earth come at me: Arabs, Asians, Africans. The worst is always when they do it themselves, when the Americans make an appearance. Then it's not just reckless. Then it gets very thorough." Grip glanced at the camera in the wall."Don't worry, they can stand to hear what they already know." Said N. "Oh, they're inventive, but it's not their methods that we're going to talk about, it's the result. I guess I've confessed to everything.""Everything?""Everything they wanted---signed, crawled, and prayed."Rooms for Tourists by Edward Hopper"In one of Hopper's paintings, there's a small hotel. It's in Provincetown, and it looks the same now as when he painted it in 1945. Whitewashed wood, two stories. If you walk past, you hardly notice it---but if you look at the painting, you long to spend the night there. Two ways for seeing one place."The Sunset Inn, Provincetown, Cape CodWhen Ernst Grip, a Swedish Security Office, is called in by the FBI to identify the nationality of a prisoner who only calls himself N., he has no idea that in the course of unraveling the prisoner's secrets his own carefully guarded secrets could be revealed as well. N. has been tortured for many years, and yet, during that time he gave them everything they wanted, but his name. Torturers want everything, every last piece of a man's soul. They want to know every thought, every whisper, so something as simple as not being able to extract a man's name must have really... pissed... them... off. "How much have you thrashed him? He curls up in a ball and starts to hyperventilate whenever a human comes near him.""Is he Swedish?""How much? Every other day for a year---more? A guess: first electric shocks and waterboarding, then just kicks and punches when people get tired. …The nails are growing in again, but they look lumpy. Usually takes six months to get them back."As Grip tries to make connections with the tortured man, Shauna Friedman of the FBI keeps dropping hints that she knows too much about Grip's past. His "art" interests are particularly fascinating to her. They know the situation with N. is FUBARED, and so if things continue to go South, then they want to make sure they have leverage with Grip. Meanwhile, Robert Karjel takes us back in time to the Thailand tsunami that killed thousands of people. N. and a small group of other survivors, still in shock from the loss of people they loved, hear a preacher from Topeka, Kansas, Charles-Ray Turnball Fred Phelps makes a speech broadcasted on the radio saying the tsunami was God's punishment. They decide that some form of retribution needs to be extended to Charles-Ray. It is interesting because I knew a Christian couple who commented about God's punishment on the people of New Orleans after Katrina. 'Those degenerates in that God forsaken den of iniquity had it coming.' I shouldn't be, but I'm still always shocked when I hear Christians gleefully talking about punishments. It seems to be their favorite role for their God to smite, to discipline. This couple moved from Kansas to Florida. They returned to Kansas after their house in Florida was destroyed by a hurricane. Now that is karmic punishment I can support! Using their own Christian formula then they must be degenerates as well, otherwise "God" would have left their house standing. Grip has that something something that women find interesting that goes beyond just physical attractiveness. It could be his confidence or his moody indifference. His conquests are well known among his colleagues in the security service. They'd be shocked to know he is discovering that he is...gay. He has the same appeal with men that he has with women. When he meets Ben on a vacation to New York, he finds someone he can love. The only problem is Ben is dying of AIDS and running out of money. In the cash or perish system of the United States healthcare system, Ben is going to die much sooner than later. Ben has underground connections with disreputable art collectors who want to possess art that is owned by others or that is locked up in museums. Grip, the man known as The Swede, has the right background to not only get around security, but also get away with the crime. "Their shapes, almost human, but not quite. You can't resist wanting to touch them. Even own them. …"They're beautiful," Grip said."Man and woman, in the same form." Jean Arp sculptures.Robert Karjel, a lieutenant colonel in the Swedish Air Force, has spent a lot of time working with the American armed forces. He knows Americans well enough to take a few pokes at some of the issues that have been dividing America. Torture, the definition of torture, and whether torture actually produces any actionable data are still being debated in the United States. The way government administrations have gotten around laws against torture by having suspects tortured by our allies makes me sick to my stomach. Asking others to do what we as a nation have finally condemned is frankly cowardly and going against the wishes of most Americans. Karjel, by putting Ben's plight in the novel, certainly provides commentary on a health system that has in the past only been for those that can afford it. I'm one of those people that believe that healthcare is a right not a luxury. We still have a lot of improvement to do on our current healthcare system, but the Affordable Healthcare Act was an important step forward. Charles-Ray Turnbull is based on Fred Phelps, an angry and bigoted man who actively spread hate and discrimination all over the United States. He spent over $200,000 a year travelling to funerals to protest the existence of those he despised.Karjel brings another issue to light by using the character Charles-Ray Turnbull, who is of course based on Fred Phelps of Westboro Baptist Church fame, who so publicly protested at the funerals of US servicemen and known homosexuals. At one point his group had planned to protest at a funeral in Dodge City. I had begun to talk with others about organizing a human chain to keep him from interrupting the funeral, but fortunately he cancelled his plans to come to Dodge City. He died a few years ago, but unfortunately his website godhatesfag and others are still up and operational. I can't imagine that JC would have approved of the methods of a man like Fred Phelps. He went to school at Washburn University in Topeka, but he was born and bred in Meridian, Mississippi, so though I have to live with the shame that such a creature managed to keep a congregation in Kansas, at least I know the seeds of his hate were first sowed elsewhere. The various threads of the story of this thriller seem far apart, but as the novel progresses we see those threads moving closer together until they begin to touch and overlap. True identities are revealed in the final pages, and the twists of the plot are untangled to bring everything to a satisfying conclusion. There have been comparisons to John le Carré with this novel which I don't really agree with. I think this book is much more accessible for a larger readership than a standard le Carré novel. The plot elements reminded me more of the Peter Swanson novels that I've read recently. The book is clever, but not ponderously so. It was a pleasant surprise. I certainly look forward to Robert Karjel's next book.

Great, Gripping, Intelligent read…..Buckets loads of drama - but it's not the kind that is so melodramatically shoved into your face and you have to sit there and take it. No Karjel gives us wheels, within wheels all turning to give us an intelligent, subtle thriller. A thriller which made me suspicious but still surprised when these suspicions were proved to be correct. A thriller which had me at the edge of my seat, hoping, anxious, worried, admiring, loving right till the end.Although this book is not a romance per se, the great 'love' shown with so few words is the base on which the story is built and something which I found really beautiful.This is a story of how sharks with their own particular agendas swim around and prey on those they find weaken by need. How the prey are used as pawns in games, lethal games played in the name of greed and yes justice. And always the injustice of this world makes me so angry, because even death is unequal. Because some deaths are considered more important than others.Like Ernst the book views America from the moral high ground of the sidelines. For me this balances out the constant view pushed by other media of America as the moral arbitrer.Hopper Seven am - Ernst Grip's favourite painting With a nod to the reviewers who complained I give you this WARNING - This books is about human beings in all their wholesome and unwholesome glory. The Truth About Diego Garcia - The truth about the U.S. military base on the British-controlled Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia is often hard to believe.A fantastic read with Lena - thank you for the company and discussion :D
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Rather liked the writing style—descriptive but on point. Loved all the intrigue. Loved how it all came together.
Θυμάμαι ότι το συγκεκριμένο θρίλερ ήταν ένα από τα βιβλία που ανυπομονούσα να κυκλοφορήσουν πέρυσι. Η έκδοση του πήγαινε από αναβολή σε αναβολή, μέχρι που κυκλοφόρησε τελικά τον Οκτώβριο του 2015. Το αγόρασα με το που έσκασε μύτη στα βιβλιοπωλεία. Έλα όμως που έπρεπε να περάσει σχεδόν ένας χρόνος μέχρι να το διαβάσω. Κάτι τέτοια τα κάνω συχνά. Τέλος πάντων, δεν μπορώ να πω ότι ενθουσιάστηκα, από την άλλη μεριά όμως δεν μπορώ να πω ότι πέρασα και άσχημα. Αντιθέτως, πέρασα πολύ καλά.Στην περιβόητη Αμερικάνικη στρατιωτική βάση Ντιέγκο Γκαρσία στον Ινδικό Ωκεανό, βρίσκεται φυλακισμένος ένας άνδρας ονόματι Ν., ο οποίος έχει δεχτεί διάφορα βασανιστήρια για να μιλήσει. Φαίνεται ότι είναι μπλεγμένος σε μια αιματηρή ληστεία τράπεζας στο Κάνσας, η οποία συνδέεται με την Τρομοκρατία. Ο άνδρας αυτός γλίτωσε από το τσουνάμι στην Ταϊλάνδη το 2004, συνδέεται με ένα διεθνή εκτελεστή και έναν έμπορο όπλων, κανείς δεν ξέρει όμως ποιος είναι και από που κρατάει η σκούφια του. Υπάρχουν υποψίες ότι είναι Σουηδικής καταγωγής. Γι'αυτό οι Αμερικάνοι κάλεσαν στην βάση τον Έρνστ Γκριπ, πράκτορα της Σουηδικής Υπηρεσίας Ασφαλείας. Όμως τα πράγματα είναι πιο σύνθετα, όλοι κρύβουν από ένα μυστικό, τίποτα δεν είναι αυτό που αρχικά φαίνεται...Λοιπόν, αρχικά η ιστορία ίσως φανεί λίγο μπερδεμένη, με τα μπρος-πίσω στον χρόνο, στην συνέχεια όμως συνηθίζει κανείς στο στιλ και δεν νομίζω ότι θα υπάρχει πρόβλημα ως προς τον συγκεκριμένο τρόπο αφήγησης, ο οποίος μου άρεσε. Το θέμα είναι ότι δεν πείστηκα από κάποια συγκεκριμένα πράγματα στην πλοκή, όπως ορισμένα κίνητρα των χαρακτήρων και κάποιες χρήσιμες συμπτώσεις και ευκολίες. Βέβαια δεν έμεινα και με πολλές απορίες για τα "γιατί" και "πως", ο Κάργελ έκλεισε αρκετά ικανοποιητικά τα θέματα που άνοιξε. Επίσης δεν με έπεισε ένα συγκεκριμένο στοιχείο του χαρακτήρα του Γκριπ, αλλά αυτό είναι κάτι εντελώς υποκειμενικό. Κατά τ'άλλα μου άρεσαν οι όλες περιγραφές των σκηνικών και των γεγονότων, βρήκα την ατμόσφαιρα αρκετά έντονη και ίσως περίεργη, ενώ γενικά η γραφή μου φάνηκε πολύ καλή και ιδιαίτερη.Το πρόσημο είναι σαφώς θετικό. Πέρασα καλά, η ιστορία μου κράτησε το ενδιαφέρον από την αρχή μέχρι το τέλος, και ένιωσα ότι ο συγγραφέας ήθελε να θίξει και κάποια σημαντικά ζητήματα με αφορμή το θρίλερ αυτό. Απλά ίσως και να μην είναι για όλα τα γούστα με τον τρόπο που είναι γραμμένο, ενώ και η πλοκή δεν είναι αψεγάδιαστη. Όμως, τελικά, μπορώ να πω ότι είναι ένα αρκετά καλό θρίλερ, που διαβάζεται πραγματικά πολύ εύκολα και γρήγορα.
(Audiobook review) This book was recently reviewed by a friend, and since we have similar tastes, I decided to try it. I'm glad I did because I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have to admit that the parts related to the Tsunami were somewhat difficult to read because they were so emotional. The author did a great job of weaving two stories together and kept me guessing until, almost, the end. And I thought the narrator, William Hope, did an excellent job too.Side note: I thinks it's sad that this book was less than well received by some American readers because of the main character being gay. According to the author, he was asked to make the MC straight so that the book would be more acceptable to the US market. I'm glad to say the author didn't give in. It's not like there are explicit gay sex scenes or anything so I'm not sure why some US readers felt so threatened. Oh well - they're missing out on a really great read. The 'gayness' of the MC is only a small, but integral, part of the plot.
Who doesn't love a Scandinavian crime novel? Why is that? I never know how to review these sorts of books. No use describing the plot, other than to say it's clever and toys with your mind. Read it and enjoy.
EXCELLENT!!!My hubby loves to watch cooking shows and sometimes I watch them with him.It is why the first thing that came spontaneously on my mind - I blame him for this because HIS cooks like to use it- a symphony of delicious flavors. You know the one that touch all of the senses and causes an explosion of flavors in your mouth, like the eruption of Mount Etna.It is exactly what Robert Karjel did to me: with his The Swede he offered me a 5-course menu à la carte: magnificent, superb, terrific, fantastic, simply great.I honestly don't understand an average rating here - not the first time in my life though - but how often did you come across a book that you wanted already to rate with 5 stars halfway up to the end? I knew around 50% that I have been reading something special: a multilayered complex and INGENIOUS story line, soooooo brilliantly written (sincerest thanks to Nancy Pick, the translator, I know what a difficult job it is, but she did it perfectly) and THE CHARACTERS....THE CHARACTERS are..( I need Nancy Pick to translate for me!..)It is when I have to say some words about THE SWEDE. There are two of them in this book: Ernst Grip, a Swedish security officer, and N., a prisoner with an unknown nationality, presumable SWEDISH, but Ernst has to prove it. The original title of this book is actually My Name Is N . But if you read The Swede, then you think about Ernst Grip as THE SWEDE. Well at least I do. I don't want to tell about the plot, because it is twisted and unique and soooo clever and I don't want to spoil you anything. This book has EVERYTHING to offer:spy thriller, nature catastrophe, romance (not in the main focus though), religious fanatics, art, suspense, policy, great writing, mysterious and captivating story, fabulous characters and wow-ending. Just go and read it. ASAP.For your information: -> This book has been nominated for the 28th Lambda Literary Award in the category Gay Mystery. It is WHY I decided to read it. Honestly, I would have probably skipped it - the rating wasn't very impressive and I wouldn't have discovered this book otherwise if it hadn't landed on the "lammy" list. It is why I am grateful to the jury for nominating this book and thereby made me aware of it.- > Robert Karjel is a lieutenant colonel in the Swedish Air Force. (I'm impressed, and not only because of the back cover that has a photo of him in his flight suit.) I've never thought that helicopter pilots could have such an interesting hobby like writing. - > Don't read it if you want in the first place a romance. It is NOT a romance, it is in the first place a great psychological thriller.-> Be warned: it is a thriller with a bisexual hero. It seems that some readers have problems with it.-> It is exactly why I have to warn you: FEELINGS, TENSION, GUNS, BLOOD, INTERROGATIONS, RELIGIOUS FANATICS, TSUNAMI... and THE SWEDE. But if you decide not to read it, it is your own fault. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!*** Reading with Sofia, starting on the 18th April 16. It was my pleasure as always.
Edge of your seat suspense. Magnificent story, I've been struggling for days on how to write the review. This book kept me awake, tuned out my new job, every time I put it down I was thinking about it. If you are a gung ho, Trumpeter, or a homophobe, this book is not for you. If you are a rational American able to recognize the that decisions in Washington aren't always good for the USA let alone the rest of the world, you will enjoy this tale. Not that the entire book is bagging on America, there is a subtle dig about the unsolved assassination of Olof Palme, too. What if you lost everything including your identity in the tsunami of 2004? Maybe you decide to not come forward, remain missing. And someone, lumps your losses and everyone else's into a "they deserved it, they were sinners" claim. You've already lost everything, why not target your rage?Or what if you'd been a total ladies man, a champion sex machine, only to realize you have no connection to what goes on? Then one day, you discover a whole new universe of sex, gay sex, and you, the untouched fall for one man. A man with vulnerabilities that make you vulnerable too. These are the struggles of the two main protagonists. Like any suspense or mystery book, pay attention to the details, although the writing is quite lovely and my attention wandered into moments of envy. Eleven stars.
My Name is N has some great themes that are well explored. There is no black and white in this book, it is all shades of grey. I was particularly captivated by the idea of changing identity and the effects on ones behaviour and the repercussions on both the individual and those around them. It also looks into the dark recesses of modern security forces, and again focusses on what that means for the individuals in "the system". A great book.
magnifiek boek-een aanrader voor thrillerlezers,komt in mn jaar top 10 te staan👍
When this review book arrived it was added to the teetering pile beside the couch, from where it was plucked by my partner on a cold Saturday afternoon, probably because he couldn't be bothered moving too far. Which turned out to be the last movement he made for quite some time. Needless to say he was enthralled enough to tweak my interest.The territory covered in MY NAME IS N is wide and unexpected. From the 2004 Thailand tsunami a group of people emerge united in their loss, eventually determined to wreak havoc against a bigoted religious leader who uses the tsunami and deaths as an excuse to peddle vile crap. Needless to say it's not too hard to figure out the so called "preacher" that this character is based on, although it is rather hard, under those circumstances, to agree with the label of "Islamist-inspired" as it seems a lot more about "as you sow, so shall you reap".The plot is complicated enough to mean that reader's will need to pay attention, particularly in the early stages, as the action moves backwards and forwards between events post the tsunami and the story of Ernst Grip, the Swedish security policeman summoned to the US to assist with the identification of a mysterious prisoner held in a high security CIA location - worse it seems than Guantánamo Bay. Exactly why Grip is the man who receives this summons isn't completely clear, nor is it really obvious what he's supposed to be achieving there, but he goes, meets with the prisoner known as N and eventually finds out a lot more than he bargained for.Eagle-eyed readers of MY NAME IS N may opt to draw some educated conclusions about the possible connections between all of these events, and they could very well be spot-on. Whilst some of the outcomes aren't that difficult to foresee, the pathways getting there are nicely complicated, and frequently unexpected. Even if you do play the guessing game, it's an entertaining read, but if you're not even trying, just going with the flow, there is even more potential for entertainment and surprises.Along the way there's some interesting storylines - Ernst Grip's double life between New York and Sweden, and the lengths he goes to for love is one thing, but the efforts undertaken by the tsunami effected five are another thing altogether. It might not even be hard to barrack for their efforts, even though some of their methods are violent and extreme.Robert Karjel, the author of MY NAME IS N, has spent time working with American armed services in his role as a lieutenant colonel in the Swedish Air Force. His commentary on the set-up of clandestine bases, and the extremes of torture seems to be informed not just by experience, but also an outsider's viewpoint. His skewering of the horribleness of somebody blaming the victims after a major natural disaster is spot-on, and makes the motive behind the Kansas attack uncomfortably sympathetic. As the story unfolds there's plenty of doubt left about the identity of N, about the possibility of Grip knowing more or less than he seems, and what the possible reasons are for N's incarceration. Everything winds together nicely here, using plenty of action and pace, and just enough real-life reflections as well as "what if" scenarios to keep the reader on the edge of their seat, and, as is less often the case in thrillers, wondering about the greyness of right and wrong.http://www.austcrimefiction.org/revie...
De Zweed is het debuut van de Zweedse voormalig helikopterpiloot en luitenant-kolonel Robert Karjel. Hij is de enige Zweedse militair, wie heeft getraind met de US Martine Corps. Deze ervaring is de inspiratie voor zijn boek. Hoofpersoon is Ernst Grip van de Zweedse veiligheidspolitie. Hij wordt door zijn baas naar Amerika gestuurd met het verzoek om te onderzoeken of een gevangene de Zweedse nationaliteit heeft.Bij aankomst in Amerika blijkt het allemaal iets moeilijker als gedacht en wordt Ernst Grip betrokken in een schimmige zaak, waar niemand het achterste van zijn tong laat zien. Wat volgt is een soort schaakspel tussen Ernst en de verschillende organisaties in Amerika, FBI en CIA. De titel van het boek is zeer passend , want de hoofdpersoon is De Zweed en daar draait het verhaal continu om.De Zweed zit vol met intrige en dit zorgt voor de spanning in het boek. Op vele momenten is het verhaal een schaakspel en is het niet gelijk duidelijk waar bepaalde actie toe leiden. Mensen met dubbele agenda`s, misschien Ernst Grip ook wel, creëeren bewust verwarring. Zorgvuldig lezen is het credo voor De Zweed. Het boek is zeker geen tussendoortje.Er zijn twee verhaallijnen aanwezig in de De Zweed, welke om en om aan het bod komen in het boek. In het begin is de link tussen beiden vaag en lijkt het onlogisch dat beiden met elkaar te maken hebben. Robert Karjel slaagt er echter op sublieme realistische wijze in een zeer geloofwaardig verhaal neer te zetten met oog voor de menselijke psyche. Met de introductie van I. blijft er verwarring bestaan en aan het einde van het boek is de lezer nog weinig meer concreets over hem te weten te komen. Toch is zijn rol een van de pijlers van het verhaal.Het is lastig om De Zweed te karakteriseren als thriller. Psychologische thriller is het zeker met misschien een vleugje politiek. De quotes op de cover als "Le Carre meets Homeland" en "De spanning van Jo Nesbo, de intrige van Ik ben Pelgrim"" zijn vooral commercieel. Tijdens het lezen zijn deze gedachten niet bij mij opgekomen. Robert Karjel is vooral zichzelf en zet met Ernst Grip een interessant karakter neer. Niets is wat het lijkt bij hem, maar gerechtigheid viert uiteindelijk hoogtij. Onder de pantser zit een mens met gevoel verstopt, wie eindelijk zijn doel in het leven lijkt te hebben gevonden. Hopelijk komt Ernst Grip terug in een volgend boek van Robert Karjel.
Personally, I usually find books on crime, FBI, terrorism etc. to be more male-oriented, however when I received this book as part of the Goodreads First Reads program I was very excited to read this thriller before its release date.I was immediately drawn in with a quick plunge into action and mystique. As the plot continued, the characters continued to develop as secrets about them were revealed. As we learn more about the main character, Ernst Grip, a Swede (but is he THE Swede?) we see that he is a lot more than he appears to be on the surface.It was interesting reading a book originally written for a non-American audience. The translation was very good, but the overall attitude toward America (not necessarily bad but just. . . what it is), was exactly what I had encountered when traveling through Europe and speaking with Europeans. We've made quite a name for ourselves around the world!The plot twists are surprising and well-timed, and (without spoiling anything) something happens at the end which I found to be quite clever, though it did have me paging back through the book to try and determine whether the character making the discovery had any reason to know that which he was discovering (I couldn't determine for sure).I see this book selling very well and think it would make a great movie.
"The Swede" by Robert KarjelThis book will keep you guessing all the way to the last page. Intricate, well- written, deftly plotted,with interesting, enigmatic characters in some very different locations. I began to read the book one evening and finished it the next mid-afternoon, and when I turned the last page, I smiled. That good.One of the last images in the book is of a Three- Card Monte game, you know the old pea- under- which- of - three- shells game. This was a fitting ending to refreshingly different spy/ crime/ thriller. And that is about all the background to the plot I can give."The Swede" of the title is a Swedish security officer Ernst Grip, who is asked by authorities to fly to NYC to help,in identifying an unidentified " person of interest" who refuses to talk, but who may be Swedish. But why particularly Ernst Grip?That's it. No more hints to spoil your enjoyment of a really enjoyable ride.Highly Recommended. Notes: a bit of sexual references. A bit of violence. Neither grossly exaggerated for titillation or effect. This book does not need it.
I hadn't heard of Robert Karjel before but it turns out he is uniquely placed in his day job to write a sweeping thriller along the lines of "My name is N". Robert is a lieutenant colonel in the Swedish Air Force and his role as a helicopter pilot has taken him everywhere. He's also written four thrillers and this is the first published in English. Five stars. Yes, definitely. This is an intriguing story involving Ernst Grip of Sweden's Security Police and a mysterious prisoner being held at a secret US bas. The prisoner is known only as N, and Grip is flown to New York and onto a remote military base to help determine whether N is Swedish and what his background is. Along the way we get to hear about a daring bank robbery in Topeka, Kansas, Grip's secret visits from Sweden to New York, and a shady quartet who hatched the plan for the Topeka bank raid. Slowly but surely N and Ernst develop a relationship and the truth unfolds, arriving at a stunning conclusion.
Excellent international thriller with a couple of flaws that I regretfully could not ignore. Without giving too much away: The final twist I saw coming fairly early. Those who are not fans of the genre might have missed it. A second complaint lies with the characters. They are generally unappealing. Despite all this, the story, viewpoint and overall execution were fascinating. I would be interested in reading another in the series. (I understand this is the first novel of a planned series.) Highly recommended.
A solidly good thriller with an interesting viewpoint on life in the US--much of the action takes place in either the US or US territory. A really good translation.
I think this could easily be picked apart for flaws (unlikelihoods, let's say), but it kept my attention and I read it during every spare moment over two days.
So good!
Well done. A thinking person's thriller.
A Swedish security agent with a secret, an unidentified prisoner who may or may not be his countryman held in a clandestine CIA-run detention facility in the middle of the Indian Ocean, and a series of flashbacks to an eclectic multinational group of five survivors of the 2004 Tsunami in Thailand getting caught up in an ambitious criminal plot that isn't what it seems - these are the ingredients out of which Robert Karjel constructs an intelligent, gripping, multilayered thriller based on an understated yet all-important romance with an intricate plot that emerges bit by bit and kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through. It's a shame that this is the only book by this author available in English so far, but it seems the sequel to this one has been translated into German, so I do believe I'll see about getting my hands on a copy of that soonish.
Ίντριγκα, μυστήριο και μυστικές υπηρεσίες! Δεν μπορώ να πω ότι πέρασα άσχημα! 7-7,5/10
For me, this was a 2 star. I almost didn't finish, but the fact that he was gay, I upped it to a three star rating.First, let me tell you what this is NOT. It is not a thriller. It is not fast paced. It is not linear.It is a mystery, and there are a few twists and turns to it, and I liked how both storylines tied together in the end.For me, it could have been told faster, if that makes sense. But that is how I read. I am a very impatient reader. I don't want to know every little detail. I skimmed a number of pages, especially when being told the story of N. Also Ernst's background got skimmed.With that being said, I think for many people this would be a great book to read. The author is a very good writer, and if you like the more long winded stories with very good detail, this is a great read. If you are impatient like me and just want to get to the end, it could be a tough read.I will say that once all of the storylines/flashbacks conjoined, I really enjoyed the book.
Švéd je pobuřující dílo napsané velmi poutavým stylem, knihu prostě nelze odložit, dokud nezjistíte, jak to vše dopadlo a i poté si ji ještě dlouhou dobu nosíte s sebou v hlavě a dumáte nad ní. Robert Karjel ťal do živého. Pro moderní zhýčkanou společnost je nepředstavitelné, že by zacházení s vězni bylo takto zpátečnické a "barbarské". Vždyť jen trest smrti a povolení eutanazie vyvolalo řadu debat a hlavně nevole, a poté si přijde Robert Karjel a předhodí světu Švéda. Jsou to fakta nebo fikce?
A really good thriller that twists and turns until it all comes together in the end. Some I had figured out but there were still plenty surprises. Not for the thin skinned as there is some anti-American sentiment in this book. I did enjoy the story and since I've read a lot of 3 stars lately this one excited me.
Unexpectedly great book. Read a review and added it to Kindle to check out with no real expectations. Fine book through abut the 80% mark and then twist's and turns galore that ended up with one final one that really had me shaking my head. Check it out.
I love these translated Scandinavian mysteries and this one is a humdinger (do you like that word?) A Swedish security officer is summoned to New York to help solve an identity crisis.
Audiobook Review:I didn't know anything about this book beforehand. I picked it up randomly off the shelf at the library; it seemed like something I would like. I had high hopes for it, but I just couldn't get into it.I did not like the actor's performance. Whenever the main character spoke, it was done in a low, almost, whisper. Every other character was read at a normal volume. And for whatever reason, it seemed every American character had a southern accent. I was ready for the book to end by the second disc. The story was slow and I found the characters unappealing. I would not recommend this book to a friend. It was a grind.
Wow. So many twists in this book, a very interesting read.

1 chapter 1 Ultrasound Physics Sidney K. Edelman, Ph.D. ESP Ultrasound s Sound creates images by sending short bursts into the body. Thus we are concerned with the interaction of sound & media. Sound A type of wave that carries energy, not matter, from place to place. Created by the vibration of a moving object. Rhythmical variations in pressure or density. Comprised of compressions (increases in pressure or density) and rarefactions (decreases in pressure or density). Sound must travel through a medium, cannot travel through a vacuum. Sound is a mechanical, longitudinal wave. Waves Transverse Wave Particles move in a perpendicular direction (right angles or 90 o ) to the direction of the wave: direction of propagation of particles vibration Longitudinal Wave Particles move in the same direction as the wave: direction of propagation vibration of particles Edelman Ultrasound Physics Ultrasound Physics 1
2 Parameters describe sound waves: Period Frequency Speed Bigness (Amplitude, Power & Intensity) Wavelength Period Example The time required to complete a single cycle. The period of the moon circling the earth is 28 days. The period of class in high school may be 50 minutes. Units Typical Values second any unit of time 0.06 to 0.5 s Sound source No time one period 2 Ultrasound Physics ESP, Inc. 2013
3 Frequency The number of certain events that occur in a particular time duration. Simply, the reciprocal of period. Units per second, , Hertz, Hz second Ultrasound Audible Sound Infrasound Typical Values Note Sound source No A wave with a frequency exceeding 20,000Hz (20 khz). This frequency is so high that it is not audible. Heard by man, frequencies between 20Hz and 20,000Hz. Sound with frequencies less than 20Hz. This frequency is so low that it is not audible. From 2MHz to 15MHz Frequency affects penetration and axial resolution (image quality.) Intensity The concentration of energy in a sound beam. Units watts/square cm or watts/cm 2 Sound source (initially) Yes Intensity decreases as sound propagates through the body. Edelman Ultrasound Physics Ultrasound Physics 3
4 Wavelength The length or distance of a single cycle. Similar to the length of a single boxcar in a long train. Units mm - any unit of length Both the source and the medium No Wavelength influences axial resolution (image quality). Typical Values mm (in soft tissue) Higher frequency also means shorter wavelength Lower frequency also means longer wavelength. Higher Frequency Shorter Wavelength Lower Frequency Longer Wavelength Wavelengths in Soft Tissue In soft tissue, sound with a frequency of 1MHz has a wavelength of 1.54mm. In soft tissue, sound with a frequency of 2MHz has a wavelength of 0.77mm. Rule In soft tissue, divide 1.54mm by frequency in MHz. 1.54mm wavelength (mm) = frequency (MHz) 4 Ultrasound Physics ESP, Inc. 2013
5 Propagation Speed Units Note: The rate that sound travels through a medium. meters per second Medium only - Density and stiffness All sound, regardless of the frequency, travels at the same No speed through any specific medium. This means that sound with a frequency of 5MHz and sound with a frequency of 3MHz travel at the same propagation speed if they are traveling through the same medium. Typical Values Average speed of all sound (regardless of frequency) in biologic or soft tissue: 1,540 m/s = 1.54 m/s = 1.54mm / s lung (air) << fat < soft tissue << bone General Rule: gas (slower) < liquid < solid (faster) Tissue Type Speed (m/s) Air 330 Lung 300-1,200 Fat 1,450 Soft Tissue 1,540 Bone 2,000 4,000 Rule of Thumbs Stiffness is related to change in shape, squishability Density is related to weight Stiffness and Speed same direction Density and Speed opposite directions Edelman Ultrasound Physics Ultrasound Physics 5

Very caring walker. Called to tell me my Charlotte's little paws were turning pink from the cold and wondered if he should bring her back. This guy is on the ball!
Dolo was great! Seamus was tired and happy when he returned home.
Thank you so much for walking Winona! It looks/sounds like you guys had a great time! I hope you can walk her again soon :)

How long do your cycles last? I seem to have mini rapid cycles day-to-day and larger overall cycles that last months and months. Example: I'm fully depressed and have been for months, but I'm still having hypomanic blips that quickly die.
im exactly like you. for about two or three days i get pretty hypomanic then i crash back down to my usual space.
Ihhhhhhghhhgh that's me. Has anyone talked to you about hormones? I'm apparently "hormonal"
nah but that def sounds like something i can bring up when i go in for my next talk w my therapist just in case things get pretty quiet and i gotta cut the silence lmao
Lollllll way better than I have been doing. I think I made my shrink cry by accusing him of failing me because I'm so much worse. I worry that there is some outta control hormone shit that can't be treated with pills.
Art stuff that takes no talent: ... Abstract painting, scribbling angrily, letting paint melt into other paints, collaging, sending people holiday cards that you make or personalize, etc.
I started messing with mixed media art supplies and imhooked because you can use them in so many different ways. Most days what I make looks terrible and embarrassing but I feel like it totally releases some of my pent up ahhhhngst
Why did the term "Manic Depression" lose favor? At least for me, it's the most accurate and telling description of what is going on with me at any given time.
Thoughts and feelings?
You can think of it in terms of your crisis receptors and your response to crisis. Some of us (especially prevalent in ADHD population) need that trigger to organize the brain. I'm remarkably calm and collected in a crisis, but borderline nutto in everyday life.
Wanted to be an emergency doctor. Not going to when out for me because bipolar is going to kill me first. But I will admit, I'm hella good at the peak moments you talk about.
If you've got $$$$$$$ the Retreat at Sheppard Pratt in Baltimore, MD. It's an assisted living... So no lockdown. You get to have your cell phone, computer, and cosmetics. It's still very, very intense therapy and diagnosis. They specialize in treatment-resistant mood disorders.
I so get you. Can you say more about the times you feel you destroy everyone's image of you?
When I'm up, I feel that way sort of...in that I need to break this mold I set for myself. I need to reach my potential so I have to change a million things to get to the place I've always deserved to be.... Then that whole thing dies.
How am I supposed to master identity and the big psychological concept of the self-narrative, if every day I wake up with this godforsaken mood disorder, and feel like I have a completely different personality from the day before?
Definitely a trigger for me. But if you're on a mood stabilizer, hopefully you'll be ok. Regardless, the stimulant works to amp you up, even if it helps slow your thoughts down.
I'm extremely irregular. I have a bit of endometriosis stage I and the weight/body hair/metabolic issues of PCOS with no firm diagnosis (they ruled out all blood work and imaging.)
I get periods max 4x per year (more like 2x or 3x.) How can I figure out when I'm actually bleeding or bleeding inside myself?
Mood symptoms are typical PMDD swings and major depressive episodes, but not directly related to my periods that I can possibly understand. Major depression seems like 1x per year. Hypomania is short-lived but the bursts are frequent and mess with my perception of the world.
I'm working with my therapist to solidify Bipolar II diagnosis, but worry it could be PMDD or hormones warping my mind and wreaking havoc on my entire life.
Wow this looks tricky! Do you not get any physical signs at all? I'm on the Mirena IUD, which suppresses periods and made it tricky for me to get my PMDD diagnosis (vs Bipolar II). Sometimes it's like I miss it if I blink! Most of the time I just have to look at my TP really closely after I wipe and try to notice any discoloration at all (kind of a slight brownish tinge most of the time if I notice it).
Even without any of this, if it's cyclical hormonal activity causing the Bipolar II symptoms, then it'll probably happen fairly regularly, and with stark periods of "normalcy" in between. When I was gathering data to diagnose my PMDD, I would log my daily physical hormonal symptoms against my emotions using a -5 to +5 Bipolar scale:
If you tried logging each day's "average state" on a spreadsheet, you might start to see the intermittent "Bipolar II" that manifests itself between two to three week stretches of normalcy (-1 to +1 range only).
PM me if you have any questions about this! Hang in there and keep being persistent about finding the solution to living the best life you can!
PS: I ended up on Prozac 20mg/day and is has changed my life! I can live a happy and full life now and I wish I had sought help a long time ago.
Thank you for this! Unfortunately, I have no periods of euthymia. Regardless of bipolar designation, I guess I have a mood disorder.
Nice answer. Yeah I forgot about his crazy rants. The reason I asked in the first place is because if his high productivity. However, the late onset explanation clears it up. Thanks!
I wonder about that too because his first two or three albums completely redefined my world. And you got the vibe that he was really someone who could 'lock himself in a room for 3 Summers' and make beats.
I was similarly prolific at a bunch of shit in my early life (until about age 21) and now can barely function when the illness strikes.

I can definitely relate to the job hopping thing. My record of jobs held is about that long and length of stay about the same as yours. Nobody ever thought I might be Bipolar until recently and kind of chalked up my instability to being dramatic and having some personality issues (childhood shit, ya know...)
But I get these bursts of life inside me where I think I'm finally flourishing and becoming the person I was always meant to be. I'll change my major, change my job only to have a change of mind down the road, or crash out and have to go back to the drawing board.
I have spent a long time in therapy in justifying why I changed my mind at all these turning points. But have never really gotten to address the possibility that my mind changes and causes these shifts.
As for the sensory overload, that is a symptom of a lot of different illnesses: OCD, ADHD, and honestly just having poor tolerance for stimulation. I get that too.
You're not alone. Bipolar isn't just high/low. There are all the unfortunate shades in between too.
I don't mean to frighten you, and this can always just be bipolar, but I have comorbid OCD, and it sorta sounds exactly like that. The more I read in professional journals about this, it seems there's a much greater link between the two conditions than was previously thought.
European study which found a comorbidity rate above 50% in a sample of around 70 patients (small sample size).
Another study also small sample size, of 315, showing around 15% rate, which is much higher than the rate of OCD "in the wild" so to speak.
A study showing the rate of OCD between bipolar and unipolar depression is not significantly different, showing a 35% comorbidity rate.
This study of other studies which states that "a subsequent systematic review of 64 relevant articles in 2014 reported that from 11 to 21% of persons with bipolar disorder experience comorbid OCD at some time during the course of their bipolar disorder."
There's not a lot of large sample size traditional research but there's quite a bit out there which shows that there is some sort of link.
Thank you!!! I can't wait to review and then find something to shove in my shrink's face! I mean that's a form of enrichment and it makes my life worth living...

Newly diagnosed. It's a relief to read that others have the same kind of issues. Abandoned hobbies, "brilliant" business ideas, comedy career aspirations when I can't talk to more than 3 people at a time.
Ever have that moment when you're like..."This... explains...sooooo..much" And then when you start re-orienting your self-concept, other people are like, "Why does it matter if it has a name? You're still just crazy."
How would you explain to some one that it's meaningful to have an accurate picture of your mental illness? That diagnosis counts? Can change your world around?
I can't think of a good analogy to explain why things are different after my diagnosis. I feel like my life story got a new narrator.
Imagine everyone kept telling you, you just have a bad cough, its just a cough, its not a big deal, suck it up, take some cough syrup... and this goes on for years and this cough is getting worse and everyone can hear you hacking and wheezing and struggling. You know somethings not right, so you finally go to the dr and he tells you that you actually have had lung cancer all these years. You caught it just in time, with the right treatment you can go on to live for many productive years.
That would be a life changing diagnosis. Your chronic cough was lung cancer. You still have the same symptoms, but now you can treat them more effectively.
That's bipolar to me.
Damnit, that sounds like me. I do this too. I get really horny for them and misconstrue their humoring me for flirting. We are soul mates and everything means something.
Honestly you'll know when it lasts and you're actively building a relationship with someone who gives you global companionship, not just lusty feelings. Lusty feelings for a single partner pretty much ALWAYS go away and then you're left with the actual relationship.
But something to consider is that this part of your brain might just work differently for the rest of your life. And you'll have a wandering eye. I certainly do despite being with someone for almost 6 years.
Crashing hard after a few amazingly productive and fun days of hypomania. Thought I was finally rebounding from depression only to flatten out like pancake again and remember how much of a fat loser I am.
It's so strange how all my states really feel REAL and like me. I'm only now getting the hang of observing my mood changes. Fuck my fucking life..because well, this is my life and will keep being my fucking life.
I'm definitely BP II, and I have never been manic. Hypo for me is almost personality change and perspective shift. I'm creative, optimistic, highly productive, ambitious, and fully ready to self-actualize. I'm hilarious, self-accepting, don't need sleep, not hungry.
I laugh a lot, I sing a lot, I make art a lot. I'm extremely chatty, with a flight of ideas, and need activities. I respond to texts, make social plans (which I never do unless hypo bc I'm a baseline hermit.) I have no trouble working or navigating socialization, and I think I deserve an upgrade from my bf, so I try to break up with him. I spend a LOT of $$$$ on my hobbies and get highly anxious about getting what I want in commerce situations.
I make A LOT of commitments and plans, though I can never follow through...sometimes months into (what I now recognize) a bout of hypomanic planning and moving towards that goal. It has wreaked havoc on my life.
Coming down, I'm irritable and want to just kill everyone around me for breathing/burping/farting/existing, as it makes me anxious.
I have never really recognized this pattern, just thought I was a total fuck up that sometimes had bad depression. Even my 3 day per week shrink who has been treating me for PTSD and Depression didn't catch the shifts for a long time, and at first didn't believe it at first because it's subtle but powerful.
Yup, a frickin roller coaster.
I'm relating to what you're saying SO much!
Only after two years of being diagnosed with MDD (major depressive disorder) my psychiatrist finally realized I have in fact Bipolar type II as I was only going in when I was crashing. I never recognized hypomania as I thought I'm just feeling better and I was actually enjoying it to some point. But then I had the worst hypomania episode. I slept for 3 hours and woke up full of energy. I was cooking, drawing, singing, building a cat tree for my cats, walk in the park after midnight because I wanted to go out, taking on too many projects, make social plans, laughing, text everyone, call everyone because I wanted to talk, I wanted to go out, and then I wanted that, and this. I changed my hair color like 5 times, I went on shopping sprees, I was all over the place. I couldn't focus on one thing because new ideas kept coming and I wanted to do EVERYTHING. And the worst part, now that I look back is that I felt cured. I thought "oh my God, that shitty depression from winter, it's gone man, that's it. I am cured, goodbye gloomy days" and soon after that, I crashed. And my God, I crashed hard. And that's when I realized - that was hypomania in it's full beauty and glory. I never really managed to understand or grasp it as I did after this episode. And it's so scary, because now I have a depressive episode, and it's literally me being two different people. I'm the complete opposite and realizing this makes me now understand what bipolar really is. Up until now I only felt and understood my depression.
Hang on in there... It sucks, but I hope it gets better. For everyone.
Thank you so, so, SO much for sharing this!! Made my day. I know everyone is different and this illness presents in everyone in super complicated ways. It's comforting to hear stories like mine, because my shrink (who is honestly God's gift to psychiatry and counseling) just hasn't seen any cases like this. Granted he has worked mostly in psych hospitals and has seen REALLY severe bipolar cases—this obviously isn't so cut and dry.
Regardless of all you're going through, bipolar has a real genetic component to it that cannot be denied. Rough environments definitely up the probability that it will develop or worsen, but it might always have been inside your body by pure luck of the draw, just waiting to be turned on when difficulties and stress arose
I'm here. Can talk. Hope you're doing ok. I know I'm having a shit time.
Yes I feel this way. But it is mostly prevalent when I think about all I haven't been able to accomplish and what I intended to do but can't.
I like the reminder from previous poster to be happy in the moment. It really is all we have.
DBT is kind of rudimentary, but its basic lessons (mindfulness, knowing how you're feeling, emotion regulation) are extremely helpful when you're battling.
I think the worksheets from the Linehan book are dumb and definitely don't get to the point. Therapist may feel you need discipline, structure, and accountability and is trying to give that to you through bogus worksheets.
If you're not getting what you need, it's on you to speak up, and then 100% on them to help work out a solution.
