Investigative journalist Tommy T's star has faded since he was a fixture on Sweden's talk-show circuit. His deep dive into the mysterious suicides-and the role of the elusive 'X' who seems to be behind everything-will be his ticket back to the top. And the trail is hot: it leads him first to a murdered friend and then to a huge batch of cocaine. Meanwhile, Tommy's seventeen-year-old nephew Linus is getting in deep himself. He's been selling his ADHD medication since he was thirteen, hoping for bigger opportunities. Now there's one staring him in the face-in the form of a huge batch of cocaine.But there's a larger plan behind what is happening, and the business turns out to be both stranger and more dangerous than either of them could have imagined.
Translated from the Swedish.
