I recently had the pleasure of speaking at EIAS2015.
My journey began with a flight to Copenhagen followed by a bus trip across the
Øresund Bridge, the famed bridge where the bisected body of a politician was found
in the Broen Swedish/Danish TV drama. The bus meandered along until we reached the remote
Swedish countryside, and I was reminded of the fictional Hedestad, in the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Where were
they taking us? We finally arrived at the isolated but idyllic town of Båstad, nestled
in the Hallandian Ridge on the shores of the Bay of Laholm. Fortunately it was not
the setting for another Nordic Noir crime
scene but home to the Swedish Open
tennis tournament and EIAS.
