1945, 2000s: How can he forget the past when it’s out to kill him?
Ten Swedes Must Die (Max Anger 2)
What you need to know before your trail
Former special-ops soldier and now an analyst for the think tank Vektor, Max Anger would kill to move on from the scars of his past—if only for the sake of Pashie, his girlfriend and fellow operative, who wants out of the battle zone. For them, a normal life is just one more dangerous uncertainty. Especially now that evil is hitting closer to home. Sofia Karlsson of the Swedish police wants Max’s help in a high-profile and high-stakes murder investigation: the hunt for a serial killer stalking the streets of Stockholm, who’s eliminating his victims in gruesome and tantalizingly clever ways.
When Max discovers his connection to two of the crime scenes, his investigation uncovers what could be the most shameful episode in Sweden’s history. The deeper he gets, the harder it becomes to distance himself from the dark sins of the past—and to secure a future with the woman he loves. For Max, and for the killer, the countdown to a terrifying end begins.

Travel Guide
Travel to the Stockholm Archipelago with Max Anger
Stockholm
The characters live and work here and Max lives here in Koppmansgatan. The company they investigate, Vektor HQ is located in Vallhallavagen. They move around the city and visit the security forces, police and embassies so you get a good view of the city and its streets.
Roslagen
The name given to the northern part of the series of islands which lie just outside of Stockholm. Much of the action takes place in and around the city and this is where the characters live and work. The investigation takes them to the Skeppysmyra and Arholma
Arholma
Many soldiers fled Russian troops and ended up in Sweden. Many of them were immigrant Estonians and came to settle in Björkö-Arholma in Roslagen. There is an old Estonian cemetery here highlighted in the novel and the island has a keen sense of its history which you have to visit.
There is also a strong Russian link given its history and links to Sweden during the war. The Kursk is also referenced in the novel.
