Trap (2016)

Sonja believes that she’s finally escaped the trap set up to ensnare her by unscrupulous drug lords. But when the person she cherishes above all else in the world, her son Tomas, is taken from her, all hell breaks loose again. Even though she sacri-fices everything she owns in order to cut loose, freedom keeps slipping further away.

Former banker Agla is awaiting sentencing for financial misconduct, but that’s not all that troubles her: she owes money to some extremely powerful men and Sonja, whom she loves so dearly, doesn’t want to see her. Sonja’s behavior is also causing Customs Officer Bragi some concern; has he calculated wrong? All of them are in a nerve-wracking situation—and it’s impossible that it will end well.

Trap is a thrilling crime novel and a stand-alone continuation of last year’s Snare, which was very well-received.
