What to expect

The epic conclusion to Camilla Läckberg and Henrik Fexeus' pulse-racing Swedish crime thriller trilogy

'Hello Niklas Sockenberg. We hope you have been satisfied with our services during this time, which has now reached its end. You have 14 days, 1 hour and 12 minutes left to live'

A deadly threat

On Christmas Eve, Sweden’s Minister of Justice receives an ominous call. An automated voice tells him has just fourteen days to live.

A gruesome discovery

The same day, a human skeleton is found in the Stockholm subway, belonging to a high-ranking financier. With the team grieving the loss of one of their own, Police inspector Mina Dabiri calls in mentalist Vincent Walder to help with the case.

A race to find a killer

When another pile of bones is found underground, the team is put to the test – what is going on in the tunnels deep under Stockholm? And can they uncover who is threatening the minister, before his time runs out?
