Informazioni sull?autore
Leif GW Persson is the Grand Master of Scandinavian crime fiction. Over three decades, he has taken a scalpel to the political and social mores of Swedish society in his dark and complex crime novels. His work melds the social realism of a Balzac or a Dickens with the hard-boiled street smarts of James Ellroy.
Persson is Scandinavia's most renowned criminologist and a leading psychological profiler. He has also served as an advisor to the Swedish Ministry of Justice. Since 1991, he has been Professor at the National Swedish Police Board and is regularly consulted by media as the country's foremost expert on crime. He is the author of nine novels. This is the first one to be translated into English.
Dalla quarta di copertina
Stockholm, 1999. Lars Johannson, a new recruit to the Swedish Security Police, has reopened the files on one of the most renowned cases in Swedish history - the 1975 siege of the West German embassy.
Back in 1989, the murder of a Swedish civil servant was covered up by corrupt officials, but ten years later Detectives Anna Holt and Bo Jarnebring are still not prepared to let it lie. Working with Lars, they discover a network of corruption and greed that permeates the very highest level of Swedish society.
This astonishing thriller spans twenty-five years and hinges on the real-life, still-unsolved murder of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme in 1986.
