AWARD OF THE SWEDISH ACADEMY OF CRIME FICTION

A new and secret division of Europol is established. It is the Opcop team, led by Paul Hjelm, and its composition reflects the diversity of the large European family. Its headquarters is in the small Hague, but its responsibility is pan-European. And the time comes for its first case... Everything begins from the moment the existence of the team ceases to be secret. The body of a tortured woman discovered in a London park during the G-20 Summit carries a message to the Opcop team. A Chinese activist dies in the hands of one of its members and desperately tries to confide something... In Stockholm, an investigation into child pornography leads to the discovery of a suspicious relationship between a Swedish industrialist and Italian financiers of dubious integrity... Huge sums of money are being transferred through suspicious banks... What connection could all these have with each other?

Arne Dahl masterfully unravels the thread once again and warns us through the words of an Opcop member: "The Mafia is determined to buy the whole world..."
