Through the introduction by James Thompson: Finland, the common myths and truths. Internationally, it has a reputation as perhaps the best place in the world to live. A great overall economy. A low criminal offense rate. Good and almost cost-free healthcare. The needy are given for by the state of hawaii and reside in realistic comfort. Finns: peaceful and silent people, surviving in the perfect exemplory case of a communal democracy working as it will. A tourist, or even a one who has lived here for a length of time, might well view Finland consequently. You can find some truth to the, but like every country, Finland has many truths... Finland is, like the theme so often explored in Celebrity Trek, a parallel world in which, on the surface, all seems normal, but under that shell lie vast differences... As this book demonstrates, Finland is a noir country [and] this anthology is, I believe, the best representation of Finnish noir ever offered to the international community. Every phrase bands true. It retains Finland up in a manner that not only exposes this wonderful and attractive country to the entire world, but acts as a mirror that displays its people and culture in ways every Finn will understand, vocalizing those truths that are so rarely spoken here among ourselves.
