The Death Game
The Death Game
Lisa dos SantosGet a look behind the newspaper headlines, with an insider’s account of working against organized crime.
When it comes to gun deaths per capita, Sweden has gone from the very bottom of the list to only being topped by Croatia, and all in thelast two decades. As 2022 looks to be the deadliest year in gang violence ever recorded, answers are needed to the very complex question of what actually went wrong, and what is to be done. This book is part of that answer.
In 2018, prosecutor Lisa dos Santos was given a case file of a murder on Årsta bridge in Stockholm, a case that would figure in the media as well as given personal importance to dos Santos herself, and a hard case to crack, as no one was talking. But after having been given some unexpected help from the FBI, dos Santos would unlock a direct link into the dark reality of gang-related crime, and now she is ready to share her insights with us.
Lisa dos Santos is a prosecutor with a string of high-profile cases with gang connections, able to give an insider account of the inner workings of this new, heightened violence, and in THE DEATH GAME she describes the problems for the judicial system as laws are lagging behind technical developments, and witnesses are hard to find, or too afraid to speak out.
The book is divided into clear and structured headlines such as ‘the death chats’, ‘the brotherhood’, ‘the weapons, ‘gangster rap’ and ‘gangster lawyers’, guiding the reader through the ins and outs of the criminal mind and world. This book gives a frank and unflinching report of the secretive Swedish underworld, while widening the understanding and dispelling myths about the problem.
