The second Swedish-set crime thriller from the fantastic Jens Lapidus, following Stockholm Delete

In this superbly gritty thriller, Emilie Jansson, a new partner at a prestigious law firm, and Teddy, an ex-con trying to stay on the right side of the law, become involved with a burglary-turned-murder, but they are soon entangled in a snarly web with deep connections to Stockholm's criminal world, where history is never a thing of the past, and always ready to threaten those who lived it.

Seuraavana päivänä aviomies löytää hänet raa'asti murhattuna. Sitten saapuu toinen video. Tapausta ryhtyy tutkimaan kuolleeksi uskotun Joona Linnan tilalle tullut komisario Margot Silverman.

Tijdens een bijzonder broeierige zomer in het Zweedse slaapstadje Växjö wordt de jonge Linda op zeer gewelddadige wijze vermoord. De twintigjarige vrouw, die op het punt stond haar politieopleiding af te ronden, is in haar eigen huis mishandeld, verkracht en om het leven gebracht. Alles wijst erop dat Linda de moordenaar moet hebben gekend, waardoor ook haar collega’s bij de politie verdacht zijn. De situatie wordt er niet beter op wanneer de hoofdcommissaris van Stockholm besluit de cynische en ijdele hoofdinspecteur Bäckström op de zaak te zetten. De antiheld Bäckström is meer geïnteresseerd in drinken, eten en slapen in een chique hotel op kosten van de Zweedse regering, dan in het oplossen van de moord. Of heeft hij zelf iets te verbergen?

Tra le strade di Londra, scosse dai tumulti del G20, un uomo asiatico viene investito mentre cerca di comunicare con un osservatore dell’Europol. Le sue ultime parole, sussurrate all’ispettore Arto Söderstedt, risultano incomprensibili. Pochi giorni dopo, in un parco della capitale, viene trovato il corpo di una donna, anche lei portatrice di un messaggio per la segretissima unità operativa OpCop dell’Europol, che si trova ad affrontare la sua prima indagine. I due casi di morte, inizialmente considerati isolati, rivelano un sorprendente nesso che si estende dall’Asia all’America, coinvolgendo gruppi malavitosi di vari paesi. OpCop ha come obiettivo dichiarato la lotta contro la criminalità internazionale. Questo thriller segna l’inizio di una nuova serie di polizieschi da uno dei migliori autori del genere nordico, che unisce le caratteristiche del thriller scandinavo e americano. La squadra di Söderstedt deve operare in un contesto in cui internet e la fluidità delle frontiere hanno globalizzato il crimine, con avidità e corruzione che si estendono oltre i confini nazionali. Arne Dahl offre un thriller avvincente e inquietantemente realistico, che intreccia brama, denaro e potere, riflettendo provocatoriamente il nostro tempo.
