From Roslund & Hellström's web site:
He leads a double life. One with a beloved wife and two small boys, a family he will protect no matter what the cost. And another, secret life in which he every single day risks losing everything
He is forced to seize control of one of Sweden’s maximum security prisons, from the inside. It’s an operation assigned by the police force. And by the Polish mafia. He realizes he is on his own, can trust no one, and that from the moment his double play is revealed he will become a huge liability for police and mafia alike. He calls himself Paula and he knows he could be dead in just three seconds.
Three Seconds is an intensely suspenseful thriller where people in all positions of society are put to the test. This is Roslund & Hellström’s fifth novel starring Police Superintendent Ewert Grens.
