1975: Six young people take the entire staff of the West German embassy hostage, demanding that the Baader-Meinhof members being held as prisoners in West Germany be released immediately. The long siege ends with the deaths of two hostages and the wounding of several others, including the captors.
1989: When a Swedish civil servant is murdered, the two leading detectives on the case, Anna Holt and Bo Jarnebring, find their investigation hastily shelved by an incompetent and corrupt senior investigator.
1999. Lars Johansson, having just joined the Swedish Security Police, decides to tie up a few loose ends left behind by his predecessor: specifically, two files on Swedes who had allegedly collaborated on the 1975 takeover of the West German embassy, one of whom turned out to be the murder victim in 1989. Johansson reopens the investigation and, with help from detectives Jarnebring and Holt, follows the leads-right up to the doorstep of Sweden's newly minted minister of justice.

About the Author:
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.
Review:
"Persson cleverly blends Swedish politics, corruption and police procedural in a way that will appeal to fans of the current crop of Danish TV dramas" The Times "Another winner from Persson. If anything, it's even better than the first book. Fans of Scandinavian crime fiction will eat it up" Library Journal (US) "Ambitious... the look at the fictional individual detectives and their fates through the years enriches the story" Publishers Weekly (US) "This may be just what fans of Jo Nesbo and Stieg Larsson are looking for" Booklist *Starred Review* (USA) "Dark, politically charged thriller... A practiced, Larsson-worthy procedural" Kirkus Reviews (US)
