A brilliant new Scandinavian noir series from Sweden introducing
Agent John Adderley, already sold in 15 countries-now in
paperbackThe Bucket List is the gripping debut novel by writing
team Peter Mohlin and Peter Nystroem, launching a stunning new
Nordic noir series featuring Swedish-American FBI Agent John
Adderley. Like the best writers of the genre, such as Henning
Mankell and Jo Nesbo, Mohlin and Nystroem combine a strong crime
story with a novel of psychological richness and depth for an
irresistible read. The Bucket List starts when undercover FBI Agent
John Adderley wakes up in a hospital bed in Baltimore with
extensive gunshot wounds. He knows he's lucky to be alive. And just
a few beds away is the man who 24 hours ago pointed a gun to his
head. Ten years earlier in Sweden, Emelie, the young heiress to (an
H&M-esque) clothing empire AckWe has gone missing. When local
police find blood and semen in a deserted area, they arrest a
teenage boy. He denies the charges, and since the body is never
found, he can't be prosecuted. Back to the present, Emelie's
high-profile cold case file is sent to Agent Adderley, now living
in Sweden (where he's not lived since he was a boy) in witness
protection, hiding until he can testify against the drug cartel he
infiltrated back in the States. Adderley is determined to solve
Emelie's case, but, at the same time, he knows that the drug cartel
has a price on his head . . .
The highly anticipated follow-up to the acclaimed Scandi-noir
thriller The Bucket ListAlicia Bjelke has always been the "other
sister," the foil to her beautiful sister Stella-people turn their
backs when they see Alicia's disfigured face. So she created a life
in the background, becoming a coding genius and founding a
groundbreaking dating app company. With Stella as the face of the
company, Alicia has found success. Until one day, when Stella is
found dead and Alicia's life takes the wrong turn. Soon, she
realizes that she is the next target. The case is given to former
FBI agent John Adderley, who is still in Karlstad under a new
identity. He is haunted by shadows of his past and is about to
leave Sweden when the game plan changes. Instead of running, he is
forced to once and for all face his past, and the murder
investigation gives him a way out. If he can go through with his
plan, he might have a shot at the freedom he has so long wanted to
have. But is it too late? In a successful mix of high-octane
suspense and psychological depth, authors Peter Mohlin and Peter
Nystroem deliver a thrilling sequel in the John Adderley series.
The Other Sister is an ambitious crime thriller that is tight,
layered, and gripping from start to finish.
