Djävulens bästa trick

Midnight. Stockholm is in motion – then everything changes. A series of spectacular deeds paralyze the city, the whole community. The police management are convinced that they can stop new acts of madness, but criminal inspector Mariana Hermansson can sense that something is not right.

While Mariana’s bosses are lead astray, her search leads her to ward 5 at a forensic psychiatry clinic. Someone has been planning crimes no one has ever seen before, crimes beyond the imaginable. There is only one way that she can solve them: she has to get to the other side of the walls and barbed wire. By her side are the police force’s foremost infiltrator, detective Ewert Grens, and the criminal Piet Hoffman. This will be their final joint adventure.

 

“Amazingly good, of course ...  This is described as “their final joint adventure”, but exactly what that means remains to be seen. Sure, some series eventually move into a routine, making them ready to end, but a few others really are so incredibly good that you want nothing else but for them to continue.”
Kapprakt (Sweden)
“Roslund builds an incredibly exciting story that kept me up way too long because I wanted to know how it ends.”
Expressen, Mats Olsson (Sweden)
