     June 27, 2022
     In this promising series launch set in 2003 from Lagercrantz (Fall of Man in Wilmslow), police officer Micaela Vargas, whose parents came to Sweden as political refugees from Chile, joins forces with Prof. Hans Rekke, “a specialist in interrogation techniques” who teaches at Stanford University, to investigate the murder of a soccer referee after a match. The victim was a refugee from Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, and Micaela’s incessant probing soon leads them into the murky waters of international terrorism, questionable CIA interrogation methods, and a war against music carried out by the Taliban in the late 1990s. Rekke and Micaela enjoy a Holmes and Watson–like relationship, complete with a Mycroft counterpart in brother Magnus Rekke, a government undersecretary with his own hidden agenda. Though the story advances slowly at first, it gains momentum once the pieces begin to fall into place. Rekke’s drug and alcohol addictions, along with his inability to focus, at times threaten to make him a caricature, but Micaela’s depth of character bodes well for future entries. Not just Sherlock Holmes fans will want to check this one out. Agent: Jessica Bab, Brave New World.

     In Stockholm, soccer referee Jamal Kabir is murdered shortly after a confrontation with hot-headed soccer dad Giuseppe Costa. Officer Micaela Vargas, newly assigned to homicide, was raised in the same rough neighborhood as Costa, and new colleagues hope that this connection will draw out a confession. Instead, a consultation with renowned interrogation expert Hans Rekke lends support to Micaela's growing conviction that Costa's volatility doesn't fit the scene's evidence, which suggests a well-planned murder. Micaela manages to clear Costa but is booted from the case. Redemption comes later, when a chance meeting with Rekke grows into an off-the-books investigation of Kabir's murder, which reaches back to the persecution of Soviet-trained musicians in Taliban-controlled Kabul and the Swedish government's well-concealed role in CIA counter-terrorism operations. Former journalist Lagercrantz, applauded by many for his novels continuing Stieg Larsson's Millennium series, has created a complex, Holmes-and-Watson alliance here that's enhanced by brooding Scandinavian atmosphere, nuanced internal conflicts, and sharp-edged cultural divides. A well-constructed series starter, offering more to come.

     Starred review from July 1, 2022
     This dark murder mystery by the bestselling Swedish author who continued Stieg Larsson's Millennium series plumbs the depths of Taliban depravity. In 2003, youth soccer coach and Afghan refugee Jamal Kabir is murdered in Stockholm, his skull crushed by a rock. Once police realize that an enraged soccer dad did not commit the crime, they begin to dig--and to discover the killer, they must learn more about the victim. Was Kabir "some sort of terrorist"? Why had he smashed a woman's clarinet in Kabul? Women musicians had been banned from practicing their craft since 1992, but once the Taliban took power, "what had previously been prohibited became downright dangerous." Police officer Micaela Vargas is part of the investigating task force, which hires renowned Stanford psychology professor Hans Rekke to assist. Vargas is an honest, hardworking young cop who happens to have a lowlife brother with criminal ties, while Rekke takes homicide investigation to a whole new level. The esteemed "specialist in interrogation techniques" is a pill-popping wreck who can hardly keep himself and his family together, but his observational powers rival those of Sherlock Holmes. He looks at a cop's hand and deduces that he'd been at the firing range that day, that he has tennis elbow but doesn't play tennis, and that the crown of his watch is about to fall off because of movements caused by his suppressed neurosis. Remarkable snap observations, Micaela observes. Not really, Rekke replies. It's just one of many from this gem of a character. The complex plot includes the CIA with references to Abu Ghraib and the Salt Pit prison, but that's not the main focus. The ending hints at a Rekke-Vargas sequel, and that would be most welcome. Kudos to Lagercrantz and translator Giles for a compelling read.
