----------
On a Tuesday morning in October 2012, experienced detective inspector Arne Olofsson arrives at work at Nyköping police station. The day begins with young Miss Elin Jansson reporting her boyfriend Roger missing for a couple of days when he was supposed to take the boat out. Roger, who is a forty-two-year-old slightly criminal macho guy, turns out to have disappeared without a trace.
The investigation comes to a standstill when the detective inspector is injured in an attack on a newly opened pub and ends up in hospital. Svante Möller, a civilian investigator, has to step in and take over. Both the disappearance and the attack on the pub prove to be difficult to investigate. Svante is not appreciated by the real police officers in Nyköping, but they are forced to take on an elusive killer and organized crime together. During the investigation, Svante Möller makes connections that force him to face painful memories from his past.
Den som ger is an exciting crime novel that thoughtfully touches on how growing up can shape us. To victims and perpetrators. And what consequences it can have.
