Fiction
The Bucket List
by Mohlin & Nyström
Description
WHEN SWEDISH-AMERICAN FBI-agent John Adderley wakes up in a hospital
bed in Baltimore with extensive gunshot wounds he knows he’s lucky to be alive.
Just a few beds away is the man who twenty-four hours ago pointed a gun to his
head.
TEN YEARS EARLIER in Karlstad, Sweden, Heimer Bjurwall goes searching for
his missing teenage daughter Emelie. Since she’s the sole heiress to the clothing
empire Ackwe, he and his wife Sissela fear she’s been kidnapped. When local
police find blood and semen on a cliff they arrest a teenage boy from the poorer
part of town. He denies the charges and since the body is never found he can’t be
prosecuted.
WHEN THIS COLD case file is sent to John Adderley ten years later, his
curiosity is piqued. John is set to testify in a trial against the drug cartel he
infiltrated and has been granted witness protection. Having grown up in Sweden
and since he has a special interest in Emelie’s disappearance, John demands to be
transferred to the Karlstad police to work with their Cold Case Group. At the
same time he knows that the drug cartel has a price on his head, the punishment
for his betrayal is death.

Reviews
“It’s easy to predict John Adderley will become a new hero in
suspense literature [...] in a lot of ways breaking new ground
within the very classical police novel. Language, story-telling
technique, characters, environment, dialogues, cliffhangers,
surprising twists, dramatic endings, well everything fits like
a glove. The author duo builds the plot skilfully with a high tempo and
towards several dramatic resolutions. The forming of the characters is
amazing. Never black and white, always multi-faceted and interesting.
And of course thrilling, really thrilling, unbearably thrilling.”
