What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Summer in Stockholm provides the setting for a crime thriller in which the danger reaches directly into the investigator’s working life. Thomas Berg is trying to protect his own police colleagues, not simply solve a case at a distance. That personal exposure gives the hunt for the serial killer an urgent, uneasy quality.

Thomas’s standing as a highly regarded investigator contrasts with Alfred’s fall from favour as a former detective. Asking his estranged father for help means working across both a family rupture and a professional divide. Their cooperation is reluctant, with the need to protect Thomas’s colleagues pressing against differences they have yet to put aside.
