See romaan on kuri muinasjutt taiskasvanud lastele. See raagib uhest teisest muinasjutust, nukust, kelle nina hakkab pikemaks venima niipea, kui ta valetab. See on ka lugu, mis seob omavahel tsaar Nikolai II, Sir Winston Churchilli, president Vladimir Putini ja kriminaalkomissar Evert Backstromi. Kui neid ei oleks olnud, siis ei oleks ka seda lugu. Luhidalt oeldes on tegu toestisundinud looga Pinocchio ninast. „Toestisundinud lugu Pinocchio ninast” on Rootsi menuka krimikirjaniku ja kriminoloogi Leif G. W. Perssoni komissar Backstromist jutustava triloogia kolmas osa. Lisaks lugejate heakskiidule on Persson voitnud oma teostega kolmel aastal ka Rootsi parima kriminaalromaani auhinna. Kirjastuselt Varrak on ilmunud samast sarjast romaanid „Linda morva juhtum” ja „Kes tapaks lohe”.
