In this debut fictional story, people get to meet the main character of Conny Sjoberg for the first time. He is a criminal investigator that suddenly has a new case when several murders take place in one area. In just a short amount of time, there were several bestial murders that took place in the central area of Stockholm.

It all started when a woman named Ingrid Olsson came home. She was returning from a hospital in Stockholm when all of a sudden she walked into her kitchen and discovered a man dead there. The intruder is someone that she has never seen before in her life, adding to the mystery of it all. Did he drop dead from some type of medical event or is this simply a strange murder that was placed or took place here?

The police force in Hammarby are starting to suspect along with Conny that there might just be a connecting link when it comes to the murders. The investigator has a very bad feeling about the cases, and thinks to himself that there’s a killer that has the most personal motives of perhaps any that he has ever seen. Worse than that, the killer appears to be very determined in their desires and probably can’t be put off.

With a murder on the loose that won’t be deterred from his goals and time running out, Conny takes the case and the call. He has a great team on his side to back him up. But when the phone rings that fateful night, he decides to answer it.

Leaving his wife and their children at the home, he goes out to see what the big deal is and inadvertently gets assigned to what could be the most important case of his career– and one of the most dangerous too. The team identifies the body there as a man, in his middle age, with a family. He had everything to live for, but he appears to have been beaten to death by a blunt force object.

Someone bludgeoned this man, but right now, the investigator doesn’t have a motive. They don’t even have a suspect. The investigation is going nowhere fast and the team starts to get frustrated as they struggle. They start to feel like they are never going to get the breakthrough that they need. But when the case is linked accidentally to another seemingly random killing, they might finally be getting somewhere.

The team finds out that they are up against not only a terrifying serial killer, but one that appears to be bent on taking out their horrible vendetta. Can they do what it takes to get closer to finding this killer, or will the team be disappointed as their efforts lead them to zero results?

The stakes have never been higher when D.I. Conny Sjoberg is on the case to catch a brutal serial killer. They’re primed to strike again, but can he and his talented team stop them before they strike again?

A murder mystery novel that takes a closer look at inspecting, crime, bullying, and the dark side of the human heart, this is a novel that you’re not going to want to miss. Check out this top level crime fiction story for yourself and read to the end to find out what happens!

If they can stop a killer, this will all end. The Detective Inspector looks into it, but the little girl is out there. Can he and his team rescue her? Find out in a Swedish thriller that you won’t be able to put down!
