The first-novelist-turned-phenomenon Jens Lapidus is back with the second part of his Stockholm Noir Trilogy. And this time, we're talking true noir. Here, the coke dealers and hit men of Easy Money have been accompanied by cops; good ones and bad ones, but real cops, desperate about a situation that has long since spun out of control. At the centre of the narrative are three men: a fanatic ex-mercenary, a fallen cop, and a young Arab who involuntarily finds himself working for Radovan, Stockholm's own Godfather. A puzzling murder that will prove to have links to the top echelon of the financial and political power connects the protagonists, and soon their paths cross. No one describes Stockholm better than Jen Lapidus; here, it emerges as a Northern Gehenna, a brutal and frightening dog-eat-dog world.
Jens Lapidus is the man behind the most talked about Swedish first novel in a decade: Easy Money - the first of the internationally bestselling Stockholm Trilogy - is a dark and brutal account of the Stockholm underworld. A young and highly successful criminal defense lawyer, Lapidus' professional experience of representing some of the most notorious criminals in the country has given him unique insights into a world that most people would rather not acknowledge. Jens Lapidus lives in Stockholm with his wife.
