Klappentext

The Bucket List is the gripping debut novel by award-winning writing team Peter Mohlin and Peter Nyström, launching a stunning new Nordic noir series featuring Swedish American FBI Agent John Adderley in a strong crime novel of psychological richness and depth for readers of Henning Mankell and Jo Nesbø.

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 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 in 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 . . .
