What you need to know before your trail

One of the most prominent citizens of Göteborg, Sweden, plunges to his death off an apartment balcony, but what appears to be a “society suicide” soon reveals itself to be a carefully plotted murder. Irene Huss finds herself embroiled in a complex and high-stakes investigation. As Huss and her team begin to uncover the victim’s hidden past, they are dragged into Sweden’s seamy underworld of street gangs, struggling immigrants, and neo-Nazis in order to catch the killer.

Travel Guide

Travel BookTrail style around Gothenburg

Gothenburg is the stomping ground for a take-no-nonsense female DI. Huss is the name – and she works in the Violent Crimes division of the city police.

The streets of Gothenburg are mean if you see them through the eyes of DI Huss. She means business and this means working on some tough cases and investigating criminals across the city.

Irene Huss is quite the Swedish cop: “Irene Huss is a 40-something wife, mother, cop, detective and judo expert.”

She is a woman working in a male dominated and very sexist police department. The case here is full of cases that have been in the Swedish Press over the years such as skinheads, Hell’s Angels and all against a background of winter darkness..
