“Wow what a tempo !!! From the first to the last page, it is not a quiet moment. I am torn between hair-raising tension & tears of sadness and joy. The book ended way too fast and now I need to have part nine in my hand to ask all my question marks. Rating, well deserved: 5 out of 5"  -bokannicka

“Really exciting book with a good dialogue about a murder investigation with leaks, infiltrators and the darkness beneath the surface. Highly recommended! ” -mestdeckare
