The final chapter in the electrifying Stockholm Noir Trilogy, which has been translated into more than thirty languages worldwide: here is the no-holds-barred, rapid-fire tale of a supreme struggle for the legacy of the Swedish underworld, as the power, honor, and respect commanded by Stockholm’s largest criminal organization are passed from father to daughter. "A good old-fashioned gangster story about the godfathers of Sweden's criminal underworld."—The New York Times 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 lattes and cappuccinos at a café. Who wouldn’t be? But Jorge has a plan, 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 who rules Sweden’s underworld. When an assassin threatens Radovan’s life, Natalie is hurled into a chaotic struggle for control of her 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?

Easy Money

A Novel

By: Jens Lapidus

From one of Sweden’s most successful defense lawyers comes an unflinching look at Stockholm’s underworld, told from the perspective of the mob bosses, the patsies, and the thugs who help operate its twisted justice system. JW is a student having trouble keeping up appearances in the rich party crowd he has involved himself with. He’s desperate for money, and when he’s offered a job dealing drugs to the very crowd he’s vying for a place in, he accepts it. Meanwhile, Jorge, a young Latino drug dealer, has just broken out of jail and is itching for revenge. When JW’s supplier gets wind of Jorge’s escape, he suggests JW track him down and attempt to win his trust in order to cover more area in the drug circuit. But JW’s not the only one on Jorge’s trail: Mrado, the brutal muscle behind the Yugoslavian mob boss whose goons were the ones who ratted Jorge out to the cops, is also on the hunt. But like everyone else, he’s tired of being a mere pawn in an impossibly risky game, and he’s seeking to carve out a niche of his own. As the paths of these antiheroes intertwine further, they find themselves mercilessly pitted against one another in a world where allegiances are hard-won, revenge is hard-fought, and a way out of it all is even harder to come by. Fast and intricately paced, and with pitch-perfect dialogue, Easy Money is a raw, dark, and intelligent crime novel that has catapulted Jens Lapidus into the company of Sweden’s most acclaimed crime writers.

Top Dog

By: Jens Lapidus

A number one bestseller in Sweden, Jens Lapidus's Top Dog is a thrilling, character-driven look at Stockholm's drug-and-sex-fueled underworld. A Vintage Crime/Black Lizard Original. Emelie is a young lawyer who's just started her own firm. Teddy is a reformed criminal looking for a fresh start. The first time they teamed up, in Stockholm Delete, they uncovered the secrets of a Swedish sex ring. Though their partnership proved rewarding--both professionally and personally--they haven't seen each other since. But when a vulnerable young client of Emelie's is murdered before she can testify against her abusers, Emelie turns to her ex-partner/lover for help. Meanwhile, Teddy's nephew Nikolas has resolved not to repeat his uncle's felonious mistakes. But the gang-related murder of his best friend sets him back on a trail of violent vengeance--and into the path of Roksana, a naïve hipster whose discovery of a drug cache is giving her a dangerous crash course in Stockholm's dark side. And as Teddy and Emelie's investigation heats up, police corruption threatens to land him back in prison--or both of them in body bags.

By: Jens Lapidus

A lawyer, an ex-con, and his nephew team up to solve a grisly murder in this explosive crime novel by internationally bestselling Swedish author Jens Lapidus. When a house alarm goes off in Värmdö, an island in Stockholm’s archipelago, a security guard shows up expecting a break-in.

And why do all roads seem to lead to Mats Emanuelsson, a man Teddy once kidnapped? As Emilie investigates, Teddy must confront his past and save his nephew from a troubled fate.

LOST in Media

By: Benjamin Beil,Lorenz Engell,Jens Schröter,Herbert Schwaab,Daniela Wentz

The television series LOST initiated a wide-ranging academic debate which centered on its narrative and temporal complexity, while also addressing the massive expansion into other media and consequently crossing established genre categories. This expansion poses the essential question about the status of the original medium (television) within recent multiple media configurations. Can LOST be regarded as a symptom of television in the process of media change? What is the relation between LOST's temporality and that of television in general? And how can LOST be understood as a phenomenon of mediatized worlds? The contributions in this book examine these questions. The book's editors are members of the project "TV Series as Reflection and Projection of Change," which is part of the DFG Priority Program 1505: "Mediatized Worlds". (Series: Medien'welten. Braunschweiger Schriften zur Medienkultur - Vol. 19)

Vad är priset för att vara Mr Ett? Det vet Teddy, mycket väl. Även om han har gjort ordentliga pengar på en rad illegala verksamheter sover han dåligt om natten.

För beskydd vänder sig Teddy till sin bror Darko, nyss hemkommen efter en olycklig tid i Malmös undre värld. Under tiden har Jossan växlat upp: större affärer, farligare spel. Också hon har synpunkter på Teddys ovilja att satsa på tyngre varor. Nu måste Teddy välja.

Easy Money: The Stockholm Noir Trilogy 1

By: Jens Lapidus

Jens Lapidus is an international phenomenon and Easy Money is his explosive first novel: a dark, urban tale of drugs, violence, greed, ambition and the twisted justice of Stockholm's underworld... Jorge is the drug-dealing Latino who refuses to stay behind bars. Mrado is the pill-popping Yugoslav hitman who cracks people's fingers with one hand and strokes his daughter's cheek with the other. JW is the wannabe wide-boy who works the night shift to fund his partying with his wealthy friends. Jorge, Mrado and JW have two things in common: a love of money and a belief that the city's coke scene is the way to get it. But soon they are united by another, more important goal: revenge. And things are about to get bloody.

Ale jest też zupełnie spłukany. Oferty pracy z urzędów zatrudnienia to jakiś żart, musi więc zamieszkać u siostry i żadne z nich nie tryska z tego powodu szczęściem. Sytuacja wymyka się spod kontroli, gdy Teddy’ego odwiedza komornik z wiadomością o jego starych długach. Teddy nieoczekiwanie dostaje propozycję: ma pomóc wyśledzić porywacza młodego biznesmena, którego rodzice zamiast iść na policję, zwracają się o pomoc do biura adwokackiego. Teddy chce być jak najdalej od kryminalnych spraw, ale komornik depcze mu po piętach, przyjmuje więc zlecenie. Jego partnerką zostaje młoda wschodząca gwiazda adwokatury, Emelie. Trudno o bardziej komiczną parę detektywów, nie pasują do siebie pod żadnym względem, ale dobrze im się razem pracuje. Wkrótce trafiają na ślad porwanego, którego przeszłość okazuje się niezbyt kryształowa. Od tego, czy Emelie dobrze wykona zadanie, zależy jej kariera, Teddy chce po prostu pozbyć się długów. Ale czy dlatego go wybrano? Szef firmy adwokackiej wie o nim coś, czego nie wie nikt inny...

Top dogg

By: Jens Lapidus

Tajemnicza grupa wpływowych mężczyzn przez dziesięciolecia wykorzystywała seksualnie nastolatki, brutalnie uciszając każdego, kto tylko spróbował ją zdemaskować. W trzeciej części cyklu o osobliwych partnerach, eksgangsterze Teddym i adwokatce Emelie, sprawa siatki powraca i zyskuje na aktualności. Utworzona przez policję specjalna jednostka ma za zadanie odkryć, kto należał do szajki, ale śledztwo tkwi w martwym punkcie. Do tego jedyna z wykorzystywanych kobiet, która zgodziła się zeznawać, zostaje zamordowana. Zdesperowana Emelie zwraca się o pomoc do swojego byłego partnera i kochanka. Ktoś jednak próbuje zmylić ich trop, sięgając po ekstremalne środki. Nikola, siostrzeniec Teddy’ego, postanawia nie popełniać przestępczych błędów wuja. Ale gdy w porachunkach gangsterskich ginie jego najlepszy przyjaciel, chęć zemsty zwycięża nad praworządnością. Życie na krawędzi prowadzi też studentka Roksana, marząca o tym, by zostać zauważona, bawić się w najlepszych klubach i liczyć w towarzystwie nadającym ton... Ściga ją jednak samozwańczy król koksu. Żeby wyjść z tego starcia zwycięsko, Roksana musi zrobić coś jeszcze bardziej szalonego. Top Dogg jest mocnym zakończeniem historii znanej z dwóch poprzednich powieści Lapidusa – VIP Room i Sztokholm Delete, cieszących się w Szwecji dużą popularnością.
