About this listen

After the disastrous end to their last case, the Intercrime team – a specialist unit created to investigate violent, international crime – has been disbanded, their leader forced into early retirement.

The six officers have been scattered throughout the country. Detectives Paul Hjelm and Kerstin Holm are investigating the senseless murder of a young football supporter in a pub in Stockholm, Arto Söderstedt and Viggo Norlander are working on mundane cases, Gunnar Nyberg is tackling child pornography while Jorge Chavez is immersed in research.

But when a man is blown up in a high-security prison, a major drugs baron comes under attack and a massacre takes place in a dark suburb, the Intercrime team are urgently reconvened. There is something dangerous approaching Sweden, and they are the only people who can do anything to stop it.

Critic reviews

Complex…hard-hitting (Declan Burke)
Crime fiction on a grand scale
Dahl’s plotting is deft, his action scenes thrilling and his characterisation brilliant (Paul Connolly)
Dahl appears to possess the customary Scandinavian talent of bagging a slew of literary awards, and in his much-acclaimed Intercrime series delivers crime writing of genuine authority
All stars
Most relevant
Odd , out of world or out of body experiences of some characters gives the story a slight “seen darkly through glass” quality.

It was good to find the A-team back together again and catch up with their personal stories.

The narrator annoyed or irritated me a bit at the beginning of the story, but I soon grew used to his voice and found as the story evolved I found it acceptable.

The story was a bit different from the usual detective stories I have read, but the characters are strong and I would be interested in following them in another case.
