Anders Roslund and Borge Hellstrom are the latest in a long line of successful Swedish crime writers.

They both bring considerable life experience to the job as one was a parole officer and the other spent time in prison during his youth.

They discuss why the genre is so popular in Sweden, the importance of writing about topics such as the drug problem in prisons and why they won't talk about the collaboration process.
