Arne Dahl,Rachel Willson-Broyles
In Arne Dahlâ€™s riveting follow-up to Misterioso, the Intercrime team is assigned the task of tracking down an American serial killer on the loose in Swedenâ€”quietly, and as quickly as possible., ,When a Swedish literary critic is found tortured to death in a janitorâ€™s closet at Newark International Airport, the police realize that the murderer made off with the victimâ€™s ticket and boarded a flight to Stockholm. Swedish authorities are placed on high alert, but the killer manages to slip through the customs dragnet and vanishes into the night. , ,With no clear motive in sight, Detectives Paul Hjelm and Kerstin Holm of Intercrimeâ€™s A-Unit take over the investigation. They learn that the method of torture used was not only a highly specialized means of extracting information secretly developed during the Vietnam Warâ€”allowing the victim to whisper, but not to screamâ€”but also that it was the modus operandi of an allegedly deceased homicidal maniac known only as the Kentucky Killer. , ,As additional victims are discovered on the outskirts of Stockholm and the terror grows, the team finds itself coming up empty-handed. Hjelm and Holm fly to New York, hoping to discover both the killerâ€™s identity and the source of his interest in Sweden. What they quickly learn, searching through the past, is that bad blood always comes back around.
