It's a novel with a heart, even if it's a hardened heart." "For all their cinematic hyperbole, the authors don't contribute to any further degradation of Lydia, who makes a believably tragic model for all the real women exploited by human traffickers." "BOX 21...is no sermon, but the authors make their outrage clear. Theirs is an unusual partnership. Roslund is a television newsman, and Hellström is an ex-criminal who now works with young offenders. They've written five books together....BOX 21 is a harsh but vivid reminder of just how brutal men can be." "[A] remarkable tale of loss, addiction and revenge....This taut and nuanced thriller should appeal to fans of Mo Hayder, Denise Mina and, of course, Henning Mankell." (starred review) Publisher's noteSold into sex slavery in their pursuit of better lives in Sweden, Lithuanian girls Lydia and Alena learn of a chance to secure their freedom and take revenge on their enslavers, an effort for which a pair of police officers confront a notorious mob enforcer and a destructive junkie. 25,000 first printing. AnnotationThe International Thriller that "Stockholm"" City" hailed as the Best Crime Novel of the Year has finally crossed the Atlantic Three years ago, Lydia and Alena were two hopeful girls from Lithuania. Now they are sex slaves, lured to Sweden with the promise of better jobs and then trapped in a Stockholm brothel, forced to repay their "debt." Suddenly they are given an unexpected chance at freedom, and with it the opportunity to take revenge on their enslavers and reclaim the lives and dignity they once had. What will happen now that the tables are turned and the victims fight back? In this masterful thriller, the celebrated team of Anders Roslund and Borge Hellstrom delve into the seedy underbelly of Stockholm. There we meet Lydia and Alena as they embark on a desperate plan to expose their captor and demand justice; police officers Sundkvist and Grens, on the trail of both Lydia's enslavers and Jochum Lang, a notorious mob enforcer; and Hilding Oldeus, a junkie on what might be his last--and most destructive--bender. At the Soder Hospital, their destinies begin to converge in unexpected and explosive ways. "Box"" 21"" "is a Scandinavian thriller of the highest order: a mindblowing psychological drama written with powerful intensity. When it was published in Sweden, "Solo "called it "suspenseful, gripping, and intelligently written . . . Almost impossible to put down," while "SVT "exclaimed: "Forget crime literature; this is, simply put, great literature " In this soul-chilling Scandinavian police procedural, a cop with a serious lust for revenge and his partner hunt down the perpetrators of a violent sex-trafficking related crime. Three years ago two young women from Lithuania came to Sweden looking for legitimate work, but found themselves misled and forced to work in the sex trade. There are hostage situations, brutal attacks on women, and violence seems to emanate from every crack in the sidewalk as Anders Roslund and Borge Hellstrom expose the nasty underbelly of Swedish society in this suspenseful and surprising novel that you'll find hard to put down.
