Publisher's Summary:
David Sarac is a police officer who has done something unforgiveable. But how can he atone for his crimes when he can't remember the victims?
When David Sarac wakes up from a car crash in Stockholm, all he knows is that he is a police officer, he has done something unforgiveable, and he needs to protect his informant, Janus.
Natalie Aden is recruited to investigate Sarac. She becomes his confidante - the only person he trusts to help him piece the clues together. But they're not the only ones looking for Janus. And others will go to desperate lengths - and use brutal tactics - to make sure they find him first....
Critic Reviews:
"A turbocharged thriller.... With breakneck pace and a mature narrative command, de la Motte deftly spins out these divergent strands, until the intricate outlines of a deadly spider's web finally becomes visible - and inescapable." (Publishers Weekly)
"An action-filled thriller that makes good use of an unreliable narrator.... An intriguing premise and a compelling lead character." (Booklist)
"MemoRandom provides high quality all the way. The end is so violent and Pulp Fiction-like that I almost started giggling. This is a raw, bloody, effectively told story about organized crime, police officers with double agendas, and corruption on high levels in the political sphere." (Aftonbladet)
"A thrilling novel about secret informants among the police force." (Mariestads Tidning)

Let me start by saying, I love Swedish mystery/thrillers. I love this defined sub-genre, so when starting this book I was beyond excited. Unfortunately this one didn't live up to the other Swedish mystery/thrillers I have read. For me, this book had a little too much police procedural and less of the gory crazy drama that I love when it comes to Swedish mystery/thrillers. Don't get me wrong there are dead bodies, but I felt like the body count was low and it was more about the hunt for the truth.
I say all of this to say this book was fine. I went into it wanting something very particular and it didn't do it, but it was fine if you like the detective work of other books.
Found another great author
Did not know what to expect since I had not heard of Anders. MemoRandom was much more than I expected. Great story with lots of action and suspense. Didn't know what the outcome was going to be until the very end. Anders' writing style made it easy to visualize what was happening; like Bernard Cornwall.
Edge of the seat thriller
We heard the author read from this book in June at the Bay Area Book Festival. I think he ranks very close to Jo Nesbo in style and content, kept my attention throughout and I hadn't figured out the solution until right at the end.
Good Read
Pleasant reading. Fun until the very end when I honestly got lost in the loose ends. Have met the author at a book reading at Scandinavia House. Very personable guy, and his voice comes out in the book. I look forward to reading more of his work!
Well written with twists you wont see coming.
This was a bit of a slow burner for me, part of that was because the story unfolded slowly. As David learned more about his past, learned more about the secrets he had been sworn to keep so too did we.
