• Mike Larssons rymliga hjärta, by Olle Lönnaeus (Damm)
• Tusenskönor, by Kristina Ohlsson (Piratförlaget)
• Den döende detektiven, by Leif G.W. Persson (Albert Bonniers förlag)
Meanwhile, the nominees for the 2010 Martin Beck Award (named after the fictional detective created by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö) are:
• Sista Beställningen på Balt, by Faïsa Guène (Norstedts)
