Synopsis

A follow up to his “breakneck” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) MemoRandom, this gripping new thriller from internationally bestselling author Anders de la Motte takes you deep inside a world of police intelligence filled with secrecy, betrayal, and deadly competition.

David Sarac of the Stockholm Police Force’s Intelligence Unit is recuperating from his gunshot wounds weeks after his violent encounter with the enigmatic high-level informant, Janus. And while the hunt for the elusive Janus has ended, the secrets and lies linger.

The mysteries of that night deepen when David’s nurse slips him an anonymous letter; the writer wants to swap secrets with David to bring someone powerful to justice after a betrayal at the Janus shoot-out.

David’s only clues are two photos enclosed with the letter: a snapshot of a happy family and another of a dead woman sprawled over the hood of a car…?

In this thrilling sequel, de la Motte again crafts a breathtaking “thriller of international class” (Norra Skane, Sweden).

Goodreads review by Tanja on February 27, 2017

Jag valde den här boken som ljudbok för att den vunnit något pris och för att jag verkligen gillade "slutet på sommaren" av samma författare. Jag förstod inte att "Ultimatum" var en fortsättning på "Memorandum" före jag börjat lyssna. Jag tvekade lite och undrade om jag skulle läsa den första boken,......more

Goodreads review by EpidermaS on July 11, 2024

Bardzo przyzwoita i chyba trochę niedoceniona w Polsce kontynuacja "Szczątków pamięci". Lekturę zepsułam sobie sama na własne życzenie, zabierając się za drugą część cyklu dopiero dwa lata po przeczytaniu części pierwszej, chociaż obie książki zamieszkały na moim regale mniej więcej w tym samym czasi......more

Fans of Swedish crime fiction rejoice; Ultimatum is available to the public today. Thanks go to Net Galley and Atria Books for the DRC, which I read free in exchange for this honest review. Although it is the second in a series, I was able to follow along fine without having read the first in the se......more

Goodreads review by George on October 15, 2016

Interesting crime story. Only two things were somewhat incomprehensible to me: how Kassab happened to know where Natalie lived (and he even got there unnoticed), and the line with the infiltrator Janus went missing completely.........more
