This book is a comprehensive study of Nordic Noir television drama from 
the 1990's until today. The authors introduce the history of 
contemporary Nordic Noir from the perspective of place, production and 
location studies. The chapters include readings of well-known television 
crime dramas such as Beck, The Killing, Trapped and The Bridge as well 
as a range of other important Nordic Noir cases. The authors position 
the development of Nordic Noir in the global market for popular 
television drama and place the international attention towards Nordic 
crime dramas within regional development of drama production in Sweden, 
Denmark, Norway and Iceland. Consequently, Nordic Noir is read as both a 
transnational financial and creative phenomenon and as a local 
possibility for community building. Offering a comprehensible, scholarly 
and methodologically original approach to the popularity of Nordic 
television crime dramas, this volume is aimed at readers with an 
interest in crime drama as well as scholars and students of television 
drama.
