Publisher Description
The gripping first thriller in a chilling new series from the reigning master of Scandinavian crime fiction—Mons Kallentoft, author of the acclaimed Malin Fors novels—is an instant international sensation.
Zack Herry is the golden boy who has stumbled into a career in the Stockholm police force. At night, he hangs out at the clubs, partying with the people he should really be arresting. He knows that it won’t last, but he can’t help himself, even as he starts being investigated by internal affairs. But when four Thai women from a massage parlor in Stockholm are found brutally executed and a fifth badly mutilated and dumped outside a nearby hospital, Zack must get his act together and try to figure out the motives behind the vicious murders, together with his partner, Deniz. Only one thing is for sure: more women will die unless they find the killer.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Zack Herry, the emotionally damaged hero of this grim series launch from Kallentoft and journalist Lutteman, fell into police work after surviving a painful childhood. A drug abuser drawn to the Stockholm nightclub scene, Zack nonetheless tries to protect the innocent. During a weeklong investigation of a Turkish human trafficking ring, Zack and his police team fight to give the Thai women the Turks have forced into "massage parlor" prostitution some form of justice. The shattering violence is occasionally modulated by Zack's attempts to forget who he is and what he has had to do. With its emphasis on action over character development, this expos of Stockholm's criminal underbelly falls short of the standard set by Kallentoft's Malin Fors series (Spring Remains, etc.). Still, fans of Jo Nesb 's Harry Hole will like what they find.)
