The Bucket List: An Agent John Adderley Novel
Swedish American FBI Agent John Adderley makes his debut in this dark and gripping thriller, winner of Sweden’s Crimetime Award for Best Debut Novel

Waking up in a hospital bed in Baltimore with extensive gunshot wounds, John Adderley knows he’s lucky to be alive. And just a few beds away is the man who 24 hours ago pointed a gun to his head.

Ten years earlier in Sweden, Emelie, the young heiress to a clothing empire, has gone missing. When local police find blood and semen in a deserted area, they arrest a teenage boy. He denies the charges and since the body is never found, he can’t be prosecuted.

Back to the present, Emelie’s high-profile cold case file is sent to Agent Adderley, now living in Sweden (where he’s not lived since he was a boy) in witness protection, hiding until he can testify against the drug cartel he infiltrated back in the States. Adderley is determined to solve Emelie’s case, but, at the same time, he knows that the drug cartel has a price on his head . . .

Like the best writers of the genre, such as Henning Mankell and Jo Nesbø, Mohlin & Nyström combine a strong crime story with a novel of psychological richness and depth for an irresistible read.

“A classic Nordic noir thriller—tight, layered, and so chilly that it shivers . . . Subtle psychological elements make each scene rich.” —Foreword Reviews
