Hostage, Kristina Ohlsson

Säpo, Sweden’s version of Homeland Security is trying to deport a terrorist, Zakaria Khelifi, nothing unusual about that, the man has been a person of interest in several terrorist operations and they’re finally about to send him back to his country of origin. Until a bomb threat paralyses the seat of government along with a demand to free Khelifi.

Justice Department analyst Fredrika Bergman used to work for the police and finds herself back in her old role liaising between her old partner Alex Recht, the government and the abrasive but brilliant Eden Lundell head of  Säpo. Now they face a new danger, a plane that took off from Arlanda airport that morning has called in a bomb threat. The plane, bound for New York City carries a full complement of passengers. The hijacker’s demands are impossible to complete without American assistance and this sets in motion a response that could leave blood on the FBI’s hands. The pilot refuses to set the plane down and Fredrika, Alex and Eden are in a race against time to find a solution before the plane runs out of fuel or gets blown out of the sky.


A richly complex edge of the seat thriller.
