Jorge was making a living as a drug dealer until he
was caught and thrown into prison. Recently released and warned to keep
out of trouble, he’s already bored with his new existence: selling

and big money looms on the horizon if he can pull off one final
audacious heist and flee the country before the police close in.
Meanwhile, Deputy Inspector Martin Hägerström — entrusted with a secret
mission, code name Operation Tide — has gone deep undercover as a
disgraced cop turned corrections officer. He’s slowly earning the trust
of Stockholm’s imprisoned expert money launderer, Johan Westlund. A
career criminal with a taste for the jet-setting lifestyle, JW is a
dangerous man to befriend, one who may demand more loyalty than
Hägerström had planned on offering.
Natalie is the
twenty-two-year-old daughter of Radovan Kranjic, the Serbian crime boss

father’s empire — and the competition is fierce. Who will rise to power in
the voracious hunt for money, prestige, and luxury to become
Stockholm’s new king — or queen — of crime?
