Publisher's summary

A number-one best-seller in Sweden, Jens Lapidus' Top Dog is a thrilling, character-driven look at Stockholm's drug-and-sex-fueled underworld. A Vintage Crime/Black Lizard Original.

Emelie is a young lawyer who's just started her own firm. Teddy is a reformed criminal looking for a fresh start. The first time they teamed up, in Stockholm Delete, they uncovered the secrets of a Swedish sex ring. Though their partnership proved rewarding - both professionally and personally - they haven't seen each other since. But when a vulnerable young client of Emelie's is murdered before she can testify against her abusers, Emelie turns to her ex-partner/lover for help.

Meanwhile, Teddy's nephew Nikolas has resolved not to repeat his uncle's felonious mistakes. But the gang-related murder of his best friend sets him back on a trail of violent vengeance - and into the path of Roksana, a naïve hipster whose discovery of a drug cache is giving her a dangerous crash course in Stockholm's dark side. And as Teddy and Emelie's investigation heats up, police corruption threatens to land him back in prison - or both of them in body bags.

Critic reviews

“Hard-hitting.... [Lapidus’s] picture of Swedish social debilitation is powerful.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Lapidus smoothly draws [his characters’] stories together into a riveting plot while drawing sharp parallels between the dangerous loyalties and callousness of Stockholm’s elite and gangland worlds." (Booklist)

it grabbed me

several parallel stories slowly developing at the same time weave into a thick heart pounding finale that will grab you and will keep you guessing. Suspense at its finest
