En högre rättvisa A Higher Justice
Sebastian Bergman #6
Psychological profiler Sebastian Bergman has come to terms with the thought that his days at the Criminal Investigation Department are over, and has returned to giving lectures and writing books. The only person from the team he has sporadic contact with is Ursula. He hasn’t heard from his daughter Vanja in four months.
Vanja is not at the Criminal Investigation Department anymore either; she’s found a temporary job as a criminal investigator in Uppsala. Since last month she is investigating a series of rapes, where the offender sneaks up behind his victims, anesthetizes them with a syringe, and places a bag over their heads before committing the assault.
When one of the victims dies, the Criminal Investigation Department is called in – and soon also Sebastian Bergman.
Reunited, the team must set aside their personal problems and conflicts to catch the brutal rapist that continues to cause fear in Uppsala. Eventually, they find clues that indicate that the victims are not randomly selected.
But what is the connection between them? And why do so many people seem to not want the perpetrator to be revealed?
A Higher Justice is the sixth installment in the internationally bestselling series about Sebastian Bergman.
