Mystery Thriller Sweden

Dan Hendricks is a man in need of a lifeline. A former CIA operative, he is now an agent for hire by foreign powers on the hunt for dangerous fugitives. It's a lethal world at the best of times, and Dan knows his number is almost up. His next job could be his last - and his next job is his biggest yet. The target sounds trackable enough: Jacques Fillon, who gave up his life trying to save a fellow passenger following a bus crash in northern Sweden. But the man was something of an enigma in this rural community, and his death exposes his greatest secret.

Det börjar som en dag som alla andra. Stridspiloten Johan Malm ger sig ut på ett rutinuppdrag och morgonens mål är en okänd signalspanare. Men just den här gången händer något som ger Johan sitt livs chock. Mitt under anflygningen blir han plötsligt attackerad av sin egen rote-tvåa och tvingas ta blixtsnabba beslut för att rädda sitt eget skinn. Han gör en perfekt undanmanöver och skjuter skarpt. När allt är över sätter grubblandet igång och frågorna måste få sina svar.

Max Anger is a man on the edge. The former fighter in an elite band of special-ops soldiers in Sweden, Anger is haunted by battle scars, a childhood spent in the Stockholm archipelago, and his own mysterious family past.

Like all of Vektor, she’s set her sights on the tenuous future of her country.

Former special-ops soldier and now an analyst for the think tank Vektor, Max Anger would kill to move on from the scars of his past - if only for the sake of Pashie, his girlfriend and fellow operative, who wants out of the battle zone.

Sofia Karlsson of the Swedish police wants Max’s help in a high-profile and high-stakes murder investigation: the hunt for a serial killer stalking the streets of Stockholm, who’s eliminating his victims in gruesome ways.
