9th edition Description Dangerous, brutal and irresistible. Part 1 of the Stockholm Trilogy In Stockholm, where the decadent upper world and the raw underworld of Sweden are closely linked, a young woman disappears without a trace and the paths of three young men cross. Mrado is a Yugoslavian mercenary who is trying to get custody of his daughter. Jorge is a drug-dealing Latino who escapes from prison. Finally, ambitious student JW is feverishly looking for ways to keep paying for his expensive lifestyle. All three give in to the destructive lure of the cocaine trade. Like the young woman, they dream of a better life, but then they need money. Lots of money. Fast. Review (s) NBD | Biblion Review As a criminal lawyer, the Swedish author (1974) acquired enormous knowledge of the criminal circuit. In this first part of his Stockholm trilogy, the reader is introduced to three young men, who are linked together through the dream of money quickly earned. Mrado is a mercenary from the former Yugoslavia. Jorge is a Chilean drug dealer and Swedish college student JW is in two completely different worlds. He also tries to solve the riddle of his missing sister. The whole plays against the background of a superficially peaceful Stockholm. To the bewildered reader, however, a violent and relentless underworld with its own laws becomes visible. One really has to get used to the writing style of Lapidus. In short staccato sentences and short 'condensed' pieces of text, regularly provided with interrogation protocols and police reports, etc., he tells his story dripping with destructiveness with an explosive plot at the end. Paperback, small print. (NBD | Biblion Review, G. Brandorff)
