Synopsis

A number one bestseller in Sweden, Jens Lapidus's Top Dog is a thrilling, character-driven look at Stockholm's drug-and-sex-fueled underworld. A Vintage Crime/Black Lizard Original.

Emelie is a young lawyer who's just started her own firm. Teddy is a reformed criminal looking for a fresh start. The first time they teamed up, in Stockholm Delete, they uncovered the secrets of a Swedish sex ring. Though their partnership proved rewarding--both professionally and personally--they haven't seen each other since. But when a vulnerable young client of Emelie's is murdered before she can testify against her abusers, Emelie turns to her ex-partner/lover for help.

Meanwhile, Teddy's nephew Nikolas has resolved not to repeat his uncle's felonious mistakes. But the gang-related murder of his best friend sets him back on a trail of violent vengeance--and into the path of Roksana, a naïve hipster whose discovery of a drug cache is giving her a dangerous crash course in Stockholm's dark side. And as Teddy and Emelie's investigation heats up, police corruption threatens to land him back in prison--or both of them in body bags.

Asså det är underhållning i renaste form för det är absolut en nagelbitare men jag bara kan inte ge högre än tre. Nämn: en författare som skriver fler kolon. Nämn: en författare som gör mer produktplacering??? Tesla and Samsonite worked HAAAARD in this. Och läs inte alla tre direkt efter varann för......more

Goodreads review by Lel on November 01, 2018

Set in Stockholm this Scandinavia-noir novel has all manner of grim ruthless crime, such as sex-trafficking, the drug industry and the criminal underworld. There are some great lines, such as “ Magnus was standing unnaturally still, the way only drunk people do when they are trying to look sober. “Y......more
