A hurricane sweeps across Sweden, leaving chaos in its wake. Two men lie dead in Stockholm, shot in the head at 
point-blank range. A cargo of cigarettes, worth 50 million Swedish has disappeared. And a young woman runs for her life from a relentless, invisible killer. She finds refuge in Paradise, a private foundation dedicated to those whose lives are in danger.
Paradise is funded by Swedish social welfare agencies, and helps people to disappear completely.
This is the start of Paradise. Paradise is the third thriller featuring Swedish newspaper reporter Annika Bengtzon, and the follow-up on Studio Sex, taking place about two years later.
Newspaper sub-editor Annika Bengtzon is trying to piece her life back together following the violent death of her fiance, and covering the story of Paradise is just the break she needs.
Then Annika receives a call from Aida, who is afraid and needs help. Annika recommends her to seek refuge in Paradise. Shortly after, Aida is found murdered. Thus Annika feels compelled to investigate more closely about Paradise – what it is, and what it does. She quickly notices things that do not fit the image that it presents to the world. She begins to get hints of trouble: ‘Don’t trust Rebecka,’ a Paradise client whispers, referring to its director.
The plot in Paradise is exciting and tense. The side story about Annika Bengzon’s private life is woven nicely into the main story.
Liza Marklund writes with lots of energy and force, and the story is fast paced. Annika Bengtzon is a very likable heroine. Paradise is a great crime novel, strongly recommended!
