Story
Terroll Lewis has lived a crazy life. Growing up on Brixton's Myatt's Field estate, he was surrounded by gang culture, and like so many other young people, he found it hard to resist the lifestyle. By the time he was 15, he had already joined a gang, been stabbed, shot at, and was selling drugs. A chance to play professional football offered a way out, but the lure of an easier life — the promise of girls, money, and cars — led him back to South London and the notorious OC, or Organised Crime, gang.

True Crime aus Skandinavien! Drei erschreckende Fälle, die den Norden und auch den Rest der Welt erschüttert haben: "Der Amager-Mann", "Terror auf norwegischem Boden" und "Der Fall Bobby erschütterte ganz Schweden". Anders als ein Krimi sind es hier keine fiktionalen Charaktere, sondern reale Personen, über die aus Perspektive der ermittelnden Kriminologen und Polizisten geschrieben wird. Die Fälle lesen sich so spannend wie ein Krimi, doch lässt sich nicht ganz ausblenden, dass diese Taten tatsächlich begangen wurden.
