Jenny Rogneby, scriitoare suedeză de romane polițiste, se documentează la Spitalul Universitar Karolinska. Am citit cărți ale unor autori români care n-au căutat nici măcar pe Google să vadă dacă polițiștii noștri sînt detectivi, sau locotenenți, sau inspectori. Cred că a fost un caz în care un l...
