DET LOVLIGA BYTET – THE LAWFUL PREY

By  Mohlin & Nyström

WHEN GUSTAV BOLINDER, owner of a family business in Värmland, clicks on a link in an email, he is met with a horrific sight. A webcam shows his adult daughter chained to a concrete wall. The kidnapper wants twenty million and threatens to kill her if the police get involved.

THE FAMILY AGREES to keep quiet and pay. But then John Adderley, an investigator with the Karlstad County Police, calls. A body has been found in the boot of an abandoned car. The kidnapped daughter turns out to have a connection to the murder victim, and now the police want to know where she is.

THIS IS THE prelude to Mohlin & Nyström’s new crime novel about former FBI agent John Adderley. During a few chaotic days, he investigates a case where secrets unfold one after another and a family is shaken to its core.

THE LAWFUL PREY is the fifth standalone instalment in the successful John Adderley Series, which has sold over 450,000 copies. As usual, the authors offer nerve-racking suspense, unexpected twists and colourful characters.
