  1. In the final days of summer, a young woman is shot dead in her apartment. Three floors above, the blue lights of the police cars awaken disgraced ex-officer Leo Junker. Though suspended from the force, he can't stay away for long. Bluffing his way onto the crime scene, he examines the dead woman and sees that she is clasping a cheap necklace -- a necklace he instantly recognises. As Leo sets out on a rogue investigation to catch the killer, a series of frightening connections emerge, linking the murder to his own troubled youth in Salem -- a suburb of Stockholm where social and racial tensions run high -- and forcing him to confront a long ago incident that changed his life forever. Now, in backstreets, shadowed alleyways, and decaying suburbs ruled by Stockholm's criminal underground, the search for the young woman's killer -- and the truth about Leo's past -- begins.

    Detective Leo Junker thought he'd crossed his last line. But he's never learned to say no. So when an escaped criminal he knows all too well hands him a photo of a murdered prostitute, he reopens the cold case as a favour. Everyone's busy and everyone's got better things to do, but is there a darker reason that Angelica Reyes' death has languished unsolved for five years? As Leo's investigation pushes further into the past -- Sweden's, Angelica's, his own -- he'll come face to face with the corruption at the heart of things. Yet the reckoning may come too late -- not only for Angelica Reyes, but for everyone.
