Dalla quarta di copertina:
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.
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.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 426 pages.404 pages ; 23 cm The story, based on real events linked to the assassination of Swedish prime minister Olof Palme, picks up in 1989, as the seemingly unrelated stabbing death of a civil servant is investigated by officers Bo Jarnebring and Anna Holt. Under the supervision of their cantankerous and corrupt su perior, Evert Ba?ckstro?m, the case gets surreptitiously swept un der the rug, and the victim is tied to a string of sex-related cr imes, despite evidence to the contrary. Another ten years pass be fore the confounding truth about the murder victim is unearthed. Just as Lars Martin Johansson, a friend of Jarnebring's, begins h is tenure as the head of the Swedish Security Police, he inherits two files from his predecessor, one of which is on the murder vi ctim - who turns out to have been a collaborator in the 1975 emba ssy takeover. Revealed now are not only the identities of the oth er collaborators but also the identity of the murderer: an intell igent, capable lawyer a heartbeat away from the top position in S weden's Ministry of Defense.
