In this final installment of the internationally bestselling Irene Huss investigations, the Organized Crimes Unit pairs with the Violent Crimes Unit to help defuse the escalating tension between rival gangs in GΓΆteborg, Sweden. But could there be a mole on the force who is thwarting their efforts?
The gang warfare that has been brewing in GΓΆteborg is about to explode. A member of a notorious biker gang has been set on fireβalive. Even in a culture where ritual killings are common, this brutal assault attracts the attention of both Ireneβs unit and the Organized Crimes Unit. Anticipating a counterattack, the two units team up to patrol the lavish party of a rival gang, but that doesnβt stop another murder from occurring just outside the event hall.
And thatβs not the only thing going up in flames. Someone has planted a bomb under Ireneβs husbandβs car. Fearing for her familyβs safety, Irene sends her husband and daughters into hiding and takes up residence at a colleagueβs apartment. Still, she canβt shake the feeling that she is being stalked. Somehow, the gangs are always one step ahead of the police. Someone is leaking information. But who? Ireneβs life depends on discovering the answer.
