Ex-convict Piet Hoffman--a family man, a rising member of Stockholm's Polish mafia, and an undercover police informant--is sent to a maximum security prison to make himself the boss of the amphetamine trade so the police can shut it down.

One-time Swedish government agent Piet Hoffmann is on the run: both from the life prison sentence he escaped, and from the Polish drug mafia he double-crossed. Only Hoffmann's handler, Erik Wilson, knows he now hides in Cali, Colombia, living under a false identity with his wife Zofia and sons Rasmus and Hugo. But life on the run is precarious. And so when Hoffmann, in order to survive, accepts employment as a bodyguard and hit man for the Colombian cocaine mafia, and is simultaneously approached by the US DEA to infiltrate the same cartel, he chooses to say yes to both. Hoffmann has a new, lucrative double life

Un tempo era un uomo qualunque, con una famiglia. Ma da infiltrato della polizia adesso si è trasformato in sicario, e dei più spietati. Torna Piet Hoffmann, lo straordinario antieroe protagonista del romanzo culto Tre secondi . Medellín è una città condannata a cambiare volto nel giro di pochi isolati: fatiscente, lurida, lussuosa e sfacciata. Lì dentro, anche Piet Hoffmann è costretto all'ennesima metamorfosi. Da tre anni è un infiltrato pagato dal governo statunitense per combattere il traffico di droga e lavorare all'interno di una spietata banda di narcos. Quelli del cartello lo conoscono come El Sueco, il sicario infallibile con una lucertola tatuata sul cranio rasato. Non sanno, però, che ogni notte El Sueco prega di poter tornare a una vita normale insieme alla propria famiglia. E quando la sua banda resta coinvolta in una violenta rappresaglia e perfino il governo degli Stati Uniti lo abbandona, Hoffmann capisce che è arrivato il momento di progettare la fuga, anche se stavolta il prezzo da pagare potrebbe essere molto alto. Tra ragazzini disposti a uccidere per riscattarsi dalla miseria, prostitute guerrigliere e politici corrotti, i due maestri del crime scandinavo firmano il loro capolavoro assoluto, uscito in contemporanea in oltre venti Paesi.

Een ontsnapte kindermoordenaar terroriseert een klein stadje en ontvoert, verkracht en vermoordt het vijfjarige dochtertje van een gescheiden schrijver. De vader zint op wraak omdat de blunderende politie er maar niet slaagt de man, die zich openlijk aan kinderdagverblijven toont, te vatten. Zweden is verdeeld in twee kampen als hij de moordenaar doodschiet, zelf voor de rechtbank verschijnt, maar vrijgesproken wordt. Dit is het sein om een ware heksenjacht op pedofielen te starten. Ondertussen voedt een groepje gewelddadige gevangen hun haat tegen pedofielen, tot er een ongeluk gebeurt.
