Promised Land

Three men are murdered in a convenience store in a suburb of Gothenburg. Their faces are blown away. Detective Inspector Erik Winter is faced with one of his most difficult cases. Was it drugs? Refugee smuggling? Or something even worse? No one seems to have heard or seen anything, and those who might know something are keeping quiet – or disappearing.

‘Without compromising the suspense or falling into the trap of political correctness, the portrayal of the murder investigation develops into a case study in intercultural understanding. It is perceptive, nuanced and skilfully executed.’ Svenska Dagbladet

‘Promised Land is one of the highlights of the year, no contest.’ Helsingborgs Dagblad
