With The Sucess of The Millenum Trilogy from Steig Larsson so far outside his native scandanavia, it was only a matter of time before some other similar book come movie will make its move into international shores.
The movie is called PRIEST OF EVIL (Harjunpää ja pahan pappi) created by acclaimed author Matti Yrjänä Joensuu
and Timo Harjunpää is Joensuu's most well known fictional detective and now he'll be coming to the big screen but will he have the same success as the girl with the dragon tattoo? Only time will tell.
Below is the book's synopsis as I'm unable to get hold of the movie one in english and after the break check out the trailer/teaser....
After a strange succession of deaths at Helsinki tube stations, the police are baffled: no one has seen anything and the tapes from the CCTV show nothing. Detective Sergeant Timo Harjunpaa of the Helsinki Violent Crimes Unit has seen more than enough of the seamier side of human nature in his career, but the forces of evil have never before crossed his path in such an overwhelming fashion. It emerges that his adversary is a deluded but dangerous character living in an underground bunker in the middle of an uninhabited Helsinki hillside. Detective Sergeant Harjunpaa must now face his most terrifying case yet. - source TwitchFilm
