What is the price of being Mr. One? Teddy knows, more than well. Even though he’s made himself a fair amount of money on a number of illegal operations, he doesn’t sleep well at night. The pressure from those around him is bigger than ever. His closest man thinks they should go for heavier stuff. There’s also a rumor going around that someone wants him dead. Teddy turns to his brother Darko for protection, Darko who’s just come home from an unhappy time in Malmö’s underworld.

Meanwhile, Jossan has stepped up: bigger business, more dangerous games. She has opinions on Teddy’s unwillingness to go for the heavier goods. Teddy has to choose. Should he take the bloody path lined with drugs – one that could lead to big money but which is also potentially lethal – or should he try to rekindle things with Emelie and Lukas and build a future on the right side of the law?

Grand Finale is the sixth and final installment in Jens Lapidus’ lauded Top Dog series.

A new gang has presented itself in Dillsta, and they are a real scary gang of teenagers! There’s also something strange about them, apart from the fact that they’re teens. Why are they only out at night? Why are they so pale? And what is that red stuff they’re drinking, it can’t possibly be blood, can it? That would mean that they are… a vampire gang!

When the news spreads that the new gang is involved in drug sales, the Dillsta gang is faced with a more dangerous situation than usual. Perhaps they really should listen to the policeman Ali Svensson when he tells them to keep out of the way until the drug league has been arrested? As Zasha gets more and more scared, it becomes obvious that if anyone is going to catch the vampire gang it has to be the Dillsta gang! Time to shop for some garlic.

The traces lead to a past no one knew existed, and soon, Emelie is drawn into a double game more dangerous than she could ever imagine.

Teddy, on the other hand, is not at all interested.
