✦ Synopsis

A number one bestseller in Sweden, Jens Lapidus’s Top Dog is a thrilling, character-driven look at Stockholm’s drug-and-sex-fueled underworld. A Vintage Crime/Black Lizard Original.

Emelie
is a young lawyer who’s just started her own firm. Teddy is a reformed
criminal looking for a fresh start. The first time they teamed up, in Stockholm Delete, they uncovered the secrets of a Swedish sex ring. Though their partnership proved rewarding–both professionally and
personally–they haven’t seen each other since. But when a vulnerable
young client of Emelie’s is murdered before she can testify against her
abusers, Emelie turns to her ex-partner/lover for help.

Meanwhile,
Teddy’s nephew Nikolas has resolved not to repeat his uncle’s felonious
mistakes. But the gang-related murder of his best friend sets him back
on a trail of violent vengeance–and into the path of Roksana, a naïve
hipster whose discovery of a drug cache is giving her a dangerous crash
course in Stockholm’s dark side. And as Teddy and Emelie’s investigation
heats up, police corruption threatens to land him back in prison–or
both of them in body bags.
