Description
Anita Sundstroem is just finding her feet as chief inspector. Her first big case is an old couple's apparent suicide pact, but if it is murder as she suspects, there seems to be no motive or suspects. Complicating her life further is the arrival of an FBI agent who is tasked with tracking down a Swede accused of a murder in Chicago. As Anita Sunstroem's ninth mystery unfolds, the past comes back to haunt her taking her back to 2006 where she has only been with Chief Inspector Erik Moberg's Criminal Investigation Squad for a year when they tackle the aftermath of an armed robbery at a cash storage facility in Malmoe. The raid has left one security guard dead and there is no sign of the stolen millions. Though the team make early progress, they soon become frustrated as the investigation stalls. Then a murder with a possible connection to the audacious heist only raises more questions than answers.

He came up with the idea for his Malmoe detective, Inspector Anita Sundstroem, after the elder of his two sons moved to southern Sweden in 2000, and the author befriended two police detectives (both of whom worked out of the Ystad police station, the town in which author Henning Mankell's set his Kurt Wallander crime series.
