本书好评：
 
“It's very clever to have a very hard-boiled story set in an international crime scene, portraying the secret service practices and the international adventures, while highlighting a single mother and her love for her little boy. To have that balance creates something truly exciting. Rarely have I read a more cinematic book.”
—Magnus Utvik
 
“The story – revolving around a plot to assassinate the Russian foreign minister in Stockholm – is a rip-roaring page turner, with bite-size chapters that encourage you to read ‘just one more’…. It is satisfying to note that with Nicholas Warg, a man addicted to cortisone injections and with many other personal flaws, whose story is set in a well-developed milieu, Lindgren and Lindmark are following firmly in the footsteps of Swedish crime writing royalty like Trenter and Sjöwall/Wahlöö.”
—Swedish Book Review
 
“It’s evident that the authors’ come from a background of screenwriting and directing of action thrillers, from both Sweden and US. It’s hard to find a more action packed novel coming out from Sweden’s suspense genre. 
My associations went to the Die Hard-films, with Bruce Willis as the officer John McClane, who solves every problem by himself. Nicholas Warg is definitely the Swedish counterpart. It’s him against the world, a superhero impossible to eliminate, even though he’s knocked down hard many times. Every time you think he’s down and out, he rises from the ashes like a Pheonix, and keeps fighting for what’s right. 
 It’s a cleverly constructed, well-executed craftsmanship.”
—Swedish Book Review
