ELDDOP – PLAYING WITH FIRE
By Carin Gerhardsen and Victor Pavic Lundberg
POLICE OFFICER CONNY Sjöberg is thrown straight into the heart of the action when a ferocious fire erupts at a school, trapping a sea of people behind blocked doors. It marks the beginning of a violent hunt for a serial arsonist determined to wipe out hundreds, if not thousands, of lives. In the aftermath of the fires, a depleted team at Hammarby Police Station must solve the murder of a seemingly innocent man found in a cellar – is there a connection? At the same time, Chief of Police Hedvig Gerdin is forced to resort to unconventional methods to prevent a highly dangerous man from being released from prison by forming a secret team within the team, risking their own lives.
PLAYING WITH FIRE is the first in a new trilogy continuing Carin Gerhardsen’s bestselling series about the Hammarby Police, written in a unique collaboration with Victor Pavic Lundberg. A terrifying story about deep wounds that never heal, about those who died and those who survived – and about the forces that drive us to live, to kill and to die.

But what stands out more than anything else is the strong momentum, the rapid shifts between different storylines and narrative perspectives; it’s so skilfully executed that, despite the many different plotlines, the reader never loses their way.
