DJ's Bait in the Box # 9

[This quite suitable box for today´s quotation is my own]

This Scandinavian novel which was published in Denmark somewhat earlier than the British edition, is not the first in a series. This quotation is not quite what it seems either ;)

"The hip flask. Summoning his last strength he put his hand in his inner pocket and pulled the hip flask out. He put the bottleneck in his mouth, dug his teeth into the metal stopper and turned it round. The stopper came lose, and he caught it between his teeth while the booze filled his mouth. It jolted through his body. Oh god. He pressed his face against the wire fence so his eyes were squeezed shut and the distant lights from Plaza and Hotel Opera turned into white stripes in all the dark."

The rules:
If you recognize the quotation, or if you think you are able to guess who wrote it, please post a comment. Just leave a hint, do not spoil the fun by giving too much away. The book will be reviewed on Friday as usual.

Gæt en Bog # 9.
Denne nyere skandinaviske krimi er udgivet på dansk lidt før den engelske, og det er ikke den første i serien. Dette citat er heller ikke helt, hvad det ser ud til ;)

"Lommelærken. Med et sidste opbud af sine kræfter fik han hånden ind i inderlommen og trak lommelærken frem. Han stak tuden i munden, satte tænderne i metalproppen og drejede rundt. Proppen løsnede sig, og han fangede den mellem tænderne, mens spritten fyldte hans mundhule. Det gik som et stød gennem kroppen. Herregud. Han trykkede ansigtet mod hegnet, så øjnene blev presset sammen, og de fjerne lys fra Plaza og Hotel Opera blev til hvide striber i alt det sorte."
