About this listen

Piet Hoffmann is the best undercover operative in the Swedish police force, but only one other man is even aware of his existence. When a drug deal he is involved in goes badly wrong, he must face the hardest mission of his life – infiltrating Sweden’s most infamous maximum-security prison.

Detective Inspector Ewert Grens is charged with investigating the drug-related killing. Unaware of Hoffman’s real identity, he believes himself to be on the trail of a dangerous psychopath. But he cannot escape the feeling that vital information pertaining to the case has been withheld or manipulated. Hoffmann has his insurance: wiretap recordings that implicate some of Sweden’s most prominent politicians in a corrupt conspiracy. But in Ewert Grens they might just have found the perfect weapon to eliminate him.

Best audible book ever!

The thread and mystery of the story was good but really not my thing. If you like Van Dam Movies then this is for you!

Would you consider the audio edition of Three Seconds to be better than the print version?

Not read book,

What did you like best about this story?

I could follow and understand plot, it kept me thinking even when I wasn't listening to it.

What does Christopher Lane bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Characters were given great identity, all separate and instantly recognisable.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It just made me think about it when not listening, really immersed in story.

Great story, enough hints placed all through.

It took me awhile to get into it, however once the action started the storyline got better.

Once the action starts the twists keep coming

This is action packed but uses a clever plot to engage the listener without just becoming a catalogue of violence.It will appeal to all lovers of nordic noire.

Fast paced and thrilling
