To the Top of the Mountain

An Intercrime Novel

Part of Intercrime

Author Arne Dahl
Look inside
Stockholm’s Intercrime team—a specialized group created to investigate violent, international crime—has been split up, their leader forced into early retirement, and his officers reassigned to mundane cases. Detectives Arto Söderstedt and Viggo Norlander answer calls around the city, Gunnar Nyberg is on the child abuse team, Jorge Chavez is immersed in dull research tasks, Paul Hjelm and Kerstin Holm are assigned to the meaningless murder of a young soccer supporter in a pub. 
 
But a series of precisely targeted bomb attacks—in a high-security prison, a car involved in a drug deal, and a dark suburban street—brings the Intercrime team back together, urgently. There is something dangerous approaching Sweden, and they are the only people who can do anything to stop it.

“Dahl’s plotting is deft, his action scenes thrilling, and his characterization brilliant.” —Metro (UK)
 
“A complex plot. . . . Hard-hitting.” —The Irish Times
