"Summer 2003: A soccer referee -- an immigrant from war-torn Afghanistan -- is found dead after a youth match in a Stockholm suburb. The father of one of the players, who had threatened the ref, is quickly arrested, but he protests his innocence. The police decide to consult Professor Hans Rekke, a world-renowned authority on interrogation and prisoner confessions. Things do not proceed as planned as Rekke challenges the team's assumptions and demolishes their case. The suspect is released, and the police find themselves out of leads. Only Micaela Vargas, a young officer from an immigrant family and with brothers who make a living on the other side of the law, refuses to let the matter rest, unable to forget the ref's strange behaviour in his last game. She tries to consult Rekke again, but the professor seems to have dropped off the radar. A year later, a chance encounter establishes an instant bond between these two very different characters. Rekke's world has changed, but Vargas enlists him to help solve the dormant case, and they soon find themselves uncovering connections between Sweden and the American "war on terror" in Afghanistan. But was the murdered referee a victim or a perpetrator? And why is the CIA -- and Rekke's own powerful brother -- determined to thwart the pair at every turn?"--… (més)
Tras el éxito de la serie Millennium, vuelve David Lagercrantz. Verano de 2003. En Hässelby, a las afueras de Estocolmo, se halla el cuerpo sin vida de un árbitro de fútbol. Giuseppe Costa, padre de uno de los jugadores del último partido en el que ha participado, es arrestado por el crimen. El caso parece claro, pero Costa se niega a admitir el asesinato. Cuando no queden hilos de los que tirar, el Jefe de Homicidios decide recurrir al profesor Hans Rekke, experto mundial en técnicas de interrogatorio, quien intentará que confiese el crimen.
Sin embargo, Costa es liberado y el caso se cierra sin resolver. Solo Micaela Vargas, una joven policía recién incorporada al equipo, se niega a que la investigación caiga en el olvido. Cuando vuelvan a reencontrarse tiempo después, Rekke, aristócrata y con conexiones con las altas esferas, y Micaela, hija de inmigrantes chilenos y conocedora de los bajos fondos de Estocolmo, decidirán retomar la investigación y resolver un caso que esconde mucho más de lo que nadie hubiera podido imaginar.
