Allison & Busby has acquired two books by Swedish crime-writer Kjell Eriksson, both featuring his series' heroine Inspector Ann Lindell.
Publishing director Susie Dunlop bought UK and Commonwealth rights, excluding Canada, from St Martin's Press. Allison & Busby will release both The Princess of Burundi and The Hand that Trembles in October 2011.
Dunlop said: "It's the most atmospheric series I have come across in a long time and we are thrilled to be introducing him to readers here."
The Princess of Burundi, which is the first book in the series, won the Swedish Crime Academy Award for Best Crime Novel in 2002.
