Anders Roslund and Börge Hellström, authors of Box 21 which I previously reviewed, return with another suspenseful crime novel featuring veteran detective Ewert Grens. Grens is investigating an execution style murder that he suspects involves drugs and the Polish mafia. Piet Hoffman is a former criminal turned devoted husband, father, Polish mafia rising star, and undercover informant for the Swedish police. His current mission is to get himself arrested and sent to a maximum security prison where he is to help the Poles take control of the drug supply in Swedish prisons and gather enough information for the police to take them down. When Grens's and Hoffman's paths threaten to cross, things go bad and a thrilling fight for the truth, and survival, ensues.
While I read Box 21 I decided to listen to Three Seconds on my commute and was not disappointed. It was a little slow for me to get into, but once I did I hated to get out of the car! This is another translation from Sweden that fans of Steig Larsson are sure to enjoy.
