Publisher Description
The thrilling sequel to the ripped-from-the-headlines crime novel about three brothers who became Sweden's most wanted criminals, and the father who made them that way.
After six years in prison, Leo Duvnjac is free. Prosecuted for numerous crimes--including ten bank robberies, planting a bomb in Stockholm's Central Station, and pulling off northern Europe's largest-ever weapons theft--he was convicted of just two robberies in the end.
Unreformed, Leo has spent his imprisonment plotting one final heist, but he only has a brief window following his release to pull it off. The plan is to steal more than 100 million Swedish crowns from Sweden's largest police station--and then disappear forever.
It is a decision that will threaten what remains of his relationships with his father and brothers, who also went to prison for the earlier robberies, and set him on a collision course with the aggressive cop who sent them to jail, John Broncks.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Actual bank robberies, the planned bombing of Stockholm's Central Station, and the largest weapons theft in northern Europe's history inspired the events in this superb finale of the Dostoyevskian saga that began with 2016's The Father from Svensson (the pseudonym of Anders Roslund and Stefan Thunberg). The abusive Ivan Duvnjac, an emigr from the former Yugoslavia, drives his three sons, Leo, Vincent, and Felix, into crime. Leo, the oldest, masterminds a daring robbery, but he goes to prison after he's apprehended by Stockholm police detective John Broncks. There Leo plots to steal the millions recovered in the arrest, now housed in the Stockholm police station. After Leo's release from prison, Broncks, aided by ultralogical detective Elisa Cuesta, follows his gut instinct and tracks Leo, only to discover that Leo's accomplice Sam Larsen is his own convict brother, to whom Broncks owes a staggering debt. Seldom in fiction have a father's sins been so brutally visited on sons as in this shattering tribute to the terrifying complexity of familial life and love.
