1990s: The fifth in the DI Huss series
In this fifth instalment of the critically acclaimed Irene Huss series, three men are found brutally executed in one of Götenborgs most fashionable neighbourhoods. All three men were involved in an online poker company, but thats all they appear to have in common. The complex investigation immerses Detective Inspector Irene Huss and her colleagues into a world of expensive cars, fancy homes and impressive castles in the air. Meanwhile, the normally peaceful atmosphere of the Huss family is disturbed by marital tension
Gothenburg is the stomping ground for a take-no-nonsense female DI. Huss is the name – and she works in the Violent Crimes division of the city police. The novel is set largely in the nice area of Vasastan but see this through Huss’ eyes and it’s not as nice! The impressive conference center is also featured which expands upon the city in other books.
The streets of Gothenburg are mean if you see them through the eyes of DI Huss. She means business and this means working on some tough cases and investigating criminals across the city. She is a woman working in a male dominated and very sexist police department.
Irene Huss is quite the Swedish cop: “Irene Huss is a 40-something wife, mother, cop, detective and judo expert.”
