Also while I'm at it, who's the best translator for Nordic languages? IIRC, the English translator of the Stieg Larsson novels got some flak, because he occasionally left out whole paragraphs.

I'm not familiar with most of the authors on your list, so I didn't vote, but having read Stieg Larsson's trilogy, I wonder why you would want to find another author like him. I would think you would want to find a significantly better author. I admit I am judging him by the English translations of his books and he might be much better in the originals, but in the English translations I do not think his writing is even as good as much of the original pulp fiction writing.
