Una joven llega malherida al hospital con heridas provocadas por una brutal paliza. Se llama Lydia, y es víctima del tráfico de mujeres. Ella y Alena llegaron a Suecia desde Lituania, siguiendo las promesas de una nueva vida, pero acabaron atrapadas en un burdel, forzadas a pagar su deuda. Ahora, tienen una oportunidad para recuperar su libertad y vengarse de sus captores.En el mismo hospital, el inspector de policia Sven Sundkvist y el oficial Ewert Grens estan siguiendo una pista que los podria llevar hasta un importante mafioso, un hombre muy peligroso al que Grens odia y del que se quiere vengar. Estas dos historias convergiran en el mismo sitio y los acontecimientos se cruzaran por espacio de unas horas...Roslund y Hellstrom nos ofrecen en esta despiadada y durisima novela un impactante, inusual y critico retrato de la sociedad sueca, mucho menos dulce y amable de lo que parece ser. Aclamada por la critica internacional, Estocolmo, Estacion Central ha consolidado a este equipo de autores (formado por un reputado periodista de investigacion y un ex delincuente que trabaja para rehabilitar a jovenes convictos y drogadictos) como uno de los mejores representantes de la narrativa sueca actual.

Escalofriante, desgarradora, intensa, realista. Espléndida novela con una trama insólita, dura y actual. Dos niñas aparecen muertas en el trastero de un sótano. Cuatro años después, su asesino se escapa de la carcel y los peores temores se hacen realidad: otra pequeña es asesinada con signos de haber sido violada. La situacion escapa a todo control. En un ambiente de historia colectiva provocado en gran parte por los medios de comunicacion, Fredrik Steffansson, el padre de la ultima victima, decide venganse tomandose la justicia por su mano. Pero la brutalidad resulta contagiosa y las consecuencias son devastadoras. la caza del asesino desencadena una escalada de violencia sin precedentes que obligara a los ciudadanos a enfrentarse a preguntas escalofriantes: ¿Quien deberia morir? ¿Que vida es mas valiosa?
