A speeding BMW leaves a dead pedestrian in its wake and leads police to the corpse of a young girl in a cellar. Detective Inspector Irene Huss's ensuing investigation draws her into the chilling world of sex trafficking. Goteborg, Sweden: The high-speed chase of a stolen BMW takes a chilling turn when the two police officers involved witness a gruesome hit-and-run. When they finally recover the abandoned vehicle, search dogs are unable to trace the thieves, but they do uncover an entirely different horror: the half-naked corpse of a young girl in a nearby root cellar. As Detective Inspector Irene Huss and her colleagues struggle to put the pieces together, they discover the man whose car was stolen a retired police officer is none other than the victim in the hit-and-run. Could it be a strange coincidence? Or is something larger at play? Meanwhile, the hunt for the girl s killer leads Irene into the dark world of sex trafficking. An international criminal has arrived in Goteborg, and he ll stop at nothing to expand his sinister operation. From the Hardcover edition."

"...there is no need to start at the beginning..."
Controversial? Do you always start a #series at the first published book? And what do you do if they aren't translated in order? #crimefiction

TrishB I can‘t read out of order! Picked up a book last night and realised it was 3rd in a series and had to order the first two! 7y
Beckys_Books Must read in order 7y
rabbitprincess I don't usually read mystery series in order. I want the main case to be interesting, and if the main case I find most interesting is the 6th book in the series, so be it. 7y

charl08 @TrishB oh dear. Let's skip over the fact this isn't book one then! 7y
charl08 @Beckys_Books good to be clear... 7y
charl08 @rabbitprincess I blame years of limited library stock for my attitude to series order: take what you can, because it might not be there next week! 7y
RidgewayGirl I prefer to start with a later book in a series. Authors and series tend to get better as they go. 7y
charl08 @RidgewayGirl I wish I could claim my approach was so well considered. 7y

I've said it before and I have to say it again - I really love the Irene Huss series. I know it ends on a few books but for now, I'm savoring each one. I love how the author weaves together seemingly unrelated stories. A hit and run, sex trafficking, and drugs all come together in very satisfying ending.
