- 2021, Diamant Salihu, Tills alla dör [Until everyone dies], Mondial, →ISBN, page 127:
- Bilen hade också betydelse. Den fick inte vara för flashig, men inte heller för nedgången. Båda sakerna kunde dra till sig polisens intresse. En Škoda av nyare modell var diskret nog.
- The car was important too. It couldn't be too flashy, but not too decrepit either. Both things could attract the attention of the police. A Škoda of a newer model was discreet enough.
