Secondhand – The Sufferings, Christoffer Carlsson 11257

Stockholm, late summer 2013. A young drug addict, Rebecca Salomonsson, is shot dead in a women's shelter. Three floors above, in his apartment, Leo Junker is woken by the flashing lights of police cars. A cop, he works in Internal Affairs, the most reviled division, the one with the "rats" who investigate their colleagues. Suspended since "The Gotland Case," during which he made a mistake that cost the life of a police officer, consumed by guilt, Leo is withering away in his new job.

Alcohol, nocturnal wanderings—his life resembles a slow shipwreck; not to mention the enigmatic messages left on his phone and the strange feeling of being followed. When reality crumbles to this extent, what can one expect but the worst?
