Review
"Gritty and fast-paced." -- TODAY show "Americans are finally catching on to what thriller fans around the world already know -- that the Swedish team of Roslund & Hellstrom is writing explosive crime novels as good, if not better, than those of Stieg Larsson .... Gun play, explosions, betrayals and the ingenious ways drugs and weapons are smuggled into prisons give this novel, Roslund & Hellstrom's fifth, an eau de testosterone level that's through the roof." -"USA Today""""[A] sprawling and often gripping thriller....

Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Trade Paperback. 506 pages. *** PUBLISHING DETAILS: Quercus, UK, 2010. This is the first edition in the English language. *** CONDITION: This book is in very good condition. More specifically: Covers have no creasing. Corners of covers are moderately bumped. Spine has minimal reading creases. . Pages are lightly tanned. *** ABOUT THIS BOOK: Dark, suspenseful, and more riveting than any thriller at the local cineplex, THREE SECONDS is the latest novel from best-selling Swedish duo Anders Roslund and Börge Hellström-heirs apparent to Stieg Larsson and Henning Mankell as the masters of Scandinavian crime. Piet Hoffman, a top secret operative for the Swedish police, is about to embark on his most dangerous assignment yet: after years spent infiltrating the Polish mafia, he's become a key player in their attempt to take over amphetamine distribution inside Sweden's prisons. To stop them from succeeding, he will have to go deep cover, posing as a prisoner inside the country's most notorious jail. But when a botched drug deal involving Hoffman results in a murder, the investigation is assigned to the brilliant but haunted Detective Inspector Ewert Grens--a man who never gives up until he's cracked the case. Grens's determination to find the killer not only threatens to expose Hoffman's true identity-it may reveal even bigger crimes involving the highest levels of power. And there are people who will do anything to stop him from discovering the truth. Winner of the Swedish Academy of Crime Writers' 2009 award for Best Swedish Crime Novel of the Year, and a #1 best-seller there, THREE SECONDS captures a nefarious world of betrayal and violence, where a wise man trusts no one and even the most valuable agent can be 'burned.' *** Quantity Available: 1.
