Bad blood

by Arne Dahl

Now a major TV seriesDetective Paul Hjelm and his team receive an urgent call from the FBI. A murderer whose methods bear a frightening resemblance to a serial killer they believed long dead is on his way to Sweden. The FBI hunted him for years, haunted by his signature device: a terrible weapon that squeezed the vocal cords shut. Has he somehow returned from beyond the grave, or is it a copycat killer? And what does he want in Sweden? The team must collaborate with the FBI on a desperate hunt that will take them from rainswept city streets to deserted Kentucky farmhouses.
