DEN OSTRAFFADE – THE UNPUNISHED
By Camilla Läckberg
WHEN A YOUNG police cadet is found brutally murdered in his student room, the Special Investigations Unit is drawn into a disturbing case where every piece of evidence is questionable. The clues point to sexual abuse, abuse of power, and a charismatic professor with an impeccable reputation. At the same time, loyalty within the unit is shaken when a possible leak puts everything at risk. The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes that the danger is closer than anyone imagined.
SET WITHIN THE Swedish police’s elite Special Investigations Unit, this crime series explores what happens when the justice system is forced to investigate itself.
CREATED BY CAMILLA LÄCKBERG and developed together with writers Anna Bågstam, Malin Karim, and Lisa Bjerre, the series combines powerful standalone investigations with strong overarching arcs of internal betrayal and moral compromise.
