Sinossi
Medellín è una città condannata a cambiare volto nel giro di pochi isolati: fatiscente, lurida, lussuosa e sfacciata. Lì dentro, anche Piet Hoffmann è costretto all'ennesima metamorfosi. Da tre anni è un infiltrato pagato dal governo statunitense per combattere il traffico di droga e lavorare all'interno di una spietata banda di narcos. Quelli del cartello lo conoscono come El Sueco, il sicario infallibile con una lucertola tatuata sul cranio rasato. Non sanno, però, che ogni notte El Sueco prega di poter tornare a una vita normale insieme alla propria famiglia. E quando la sua banda resta coinvolta in una violenta rappresaglia e perfino il governo degli Stati Uniti lo abbandona, Hoffmanji capisce che è arrivato il momento di progettare la fuga, anche se stavolta il prezzo da pagare potrebbe essere molto alto. Tra ragazzini disposti a uccidere per riscattarsi dalla miseria, prostitute guerrigliere e politici corrotti, l'ultimo romanzo della coppia di maestri del crime svedese, uscito in contemporanea in oltre venti Paesi a pochi mesi dalla prematura scomparsa di Börge Hellström.

Recensioni
Another excellent thriller, 4.5 stars. Piet Hoffman fled Sweden after faking his death in prison to become an undercover agent for the DEA, insinuating himself with cartel enforcer, El Mestizo. Meanwhile, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives is on a personal crusade to stop the import of d Leggi tutto
An undercover agent is targeted when war is declared on “drugs barons”. This was definitely a roller coaster ride of a story, very well written, entertaining and with a cast of morally ambiguous characters. But it was simply too far –fetched and about three quarters of the way I started to really str Leggi tutto
I don't normally read international thrillers, so wasn't initially aware that this was the 7th book in a continuing series. However, I found it worked well enough on its own as any relevant backstory on the central characters is given in the opening chapters. This story centres around ex-convict Piet Leggi tutto
Haven't read any of the other works by Roslund & Hellstrom so didn't know the back story of the recurring characters, but that had no impact on my level of enagagement with the story. I also didn't read any of the jacket blurb before launching in, and was thinking this would be a typical Scandi polic Leggi tutto
Кокаинът убива по твърде много начини: http://knigolandia.info/book-review/3... Буквално трима души знаят истината за самоличността на Ел Суеко – Шведа. И точно това, което му осигурява така нужното прикритие, се превръща и в присъда. Защото висш американски политик, обявил своя лична война на наркот Leggi tutto
The sequel to Three Seconds which I also loved, this book was almost impossible for me to put down. I love the absolute authority that these books carry on the knowledge of the underpinnings of crime. Börge Helström himself was an ex-con (I say was as he has since died), so his firsthand knowledge a Leggi tutto
