Early one morning in April a film of a young man spreads on Youtube. He has been beaten up and is wearing an explosive device attached to his body. The police know that a terrible fate awaits him. They are able to identify the location but only reach in time for the bomb to explode. This is the fourth member of the criminal network Komados to be murdered in a short period of time. Detective inspector Mia Bolander has assistance from the new investigator Patrik Wiking to solve the cases. The problem is that no one wants to speak to them. Nobody has heard or seen anything. When Jana Berzelius is dragged into the investigation she realises that the case has a direct connection to herself. As a prosecutor it has always been her job to find out the truth. This time she receives unexpected help to hide it. Don’t Say A Word is a highly topical novel about violence and gang criminality, as well as the forces that can take over when there is something to protect at all costs.
WHEN SWEDISH-AMERICAN FBI-agent John Adderley wakes up in a hospital bed in Baltimore with extensive gunshot wounds he knows he’s lucky to be alive. Just a few beds away is the man who twenty-four hours ago pointed a gun to his head. TEN YEARS EARLIER in Karlstad, Sweden, Heimer Bjurwall goes searching for his missing teenage daughter Emelie. Since she’s the sole heiress to the clothing empire Ackwe, he and his wife Sissela fear she’s been kidnapped. When local police find blood and semen on a cliff they arrest a teenage boy from the poorer part of town. He denies the charges and since the body is never found he can’t be prosecuted. WHEN THIS COLD case file is sent to John Adderley ten years later, his curiosity is piqued. John is set to testify in a trial against the drug cartel he infiltrated and has been granted witness protection. Having grown up in Sweden and since he has a special interest in Emelie’s disappearance, John demands to be transferred to the Karlstad police to work with their Cold Case Group. At the same time he knows that the drug cartel has a price on his head, the punishment for his betrayal is death.
