Public Administration and Fiction
Howard McCurdy once wrote that one of the advantages of using fiction in studying public administration is that fiction writers are able \"to portray the essential ambiguity of situations.\" This fact is important, in his view, because \"successful administration depends upon the skill of a manager in perceiving situations as essentially ambiguous.\" To illustrate this ambiguity, we examine the recent trilogy of Swedish films, based on Stieg Larsson's three best-selling novels of the same name, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Starmose & Oplev, 2009a), The Girl Who Played with Fire (Starmose, Mankell, & Alfredson, 2009b), and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (Starmose, Mankell, & Alfredson, 2009c). The Larsson films presents, then, with four very different and seemingly contradictory views of the administrative state. The state is revealed as sometimes evil, sometimes professionally upholding constitutional values, often technically competent, and also often helpless.
Journal Article
In harm's way
\"The body of world-famous journalist Jeanette Thiels is discovered the day after Christmas, frozen in a snow-covered garden just steps from her hotel on Sandhamn Island. Detective Thomas Andreasson finds it highly unlikely that it was some bizarre accident. After all, the relentless war-zone correspondent was no stranger to conflict and controversy--both professional and, of late, very personal. Who would want to see her dead is another story. Enlisting the help of attorney Nora Linde, his longtime friend on holiday, Thomas is anxious for the answers. But he and Nora don't have to look far. The clues are leading them closer to home than they imagined. Jeanette may have made a career out of exposing corruption at the highest levels of world power, but she was also a woman with secrets of her own, and they're coming to light on Sandhamn. For Thomas and Nora, unearthing the deeply rooted deceptions behind Jeanette's death could now put those closest to her in harm's way, too\"--Amazon.com.

The dying detective
\"A galvanizing new thriller from the internationally acclaimed and best-selling author--a stand-alone novel that finds legendary Swedish homicide detective Lars Martin Johansson racing against time to solve one final murder. In the National Criminal Investigation Department he was known as \"the man who sees around corners.\" Now Johansson is retired, living in the country, his police days behind him. Or so he thinks. When he finds himself in the hospital having suffered a stroke, tests revealing heart problems as well, the only thing that saves him from despair is his doctor's interest in an unsolved murder case from years before. The victim was a nine-year-old girl, raped and strangled to death, and now Johansson determines to solve the crime despite his condition. He launches an informal investigation from his hospital bed--with the help of Matilda, a wannabe Lisbeth Salander, and Max, an orphan personally invested in child-abuse cases--and begins to draw a web of connections between sex tourism, a deceased opera singer, and a self-made millionaire. And as he draws closer to solving the crime, he finds that he is confronting not just a case, but his own mortality.\"
