About this ebook
Inspector Kari Vaara, recovering from brain surgery, is back to doing police work—under circumstances most cops only dream of. Reporting directly to the national chief of police, Kari and his partners Milo and Sulo have been granted secrecy and autonomy for their new black-ops unit, and plenty of cash to work with, including whatever they can steal from Helsinki’s mobsters.
But Kari's team is too good, and their actions have unintended consequences...The president of Finland wants the team on a new case: the vicious assassination of a prominent immigrants' rights activist. Against a backdrop of simmering hatred spreading across the country, Kari must solve a case that involves the kidnapping of a billionaire’s children, a Faustian bargain with a former French Legionnaire—and his own wife.

This book series is great! Very well written, it sucks you in and gets grittier with every novel. I would strongly recommend it to anyone that enjoyed The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series but felt it was a little slow to develop. Amazing portrayal of the Finnish lifestyle and great character build makes this a beyond entertaining read!
