Publisher Description
En svensk finansmand findes myrdet i sit hjem. Så findes endnu en. Og alt tyder på, at det kommer til at fortsætte. Rigskriminalpolitiet etablerer hurtigt en specialenhed bestående af seks håndplukkede politifolk fra hele Sverige. Man døber enheden A-gruppen – Rigskriminalpolitiets specialenhed for voldskriminalitet med internationale aspekter. De står over for et mysterium.
Hvem er det, der sidder i svenske finansmænds stuer, lytter til jazz, skyder dem med to kugler i hovedet og ikke efterlader sig spor? Hvad er det, han vil? Medierne døber ham Magtmorderen, og da sporene begynder at pege i retning af den russiske mafia, finder A-gruppen en åbning.
MISTERIOSO er første bind i serien om Paul Hjelm og A-gruppen. Det er en tæt og velkomponeret
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Originally published in Sweden in 1999, the first in Dahl's acclaimed Intercrime trilogy focuses on the A-Unit, a freshly formed elite team of six mavericks and misfits from various police units. Typical is Paul Hjelm, who was about to lose his job for the unorthodox handling of a hostage situation. The author artfully fills in the disparate backgrounds of the other four men and one woman, each of whom emerges as a substantial, nuanced character. Plot, though, is not Dahl's strong suit. A less than compelling story line, full of Stockholm street names, leaves the reader floundering in clueless murders for too long, burdened with extended lists of possibilities that don't pan out and a lot of talk about corporations and their board members, some of whom are thought to be possible targets of the media-dubbed "Power Murderer." Eventually, clues come pouring in and the pace picks up.
