The Terrorists by Maj Sjöwall

4.0

The 10th book in the 10-year book. Beck is frustrated by the increase in crime in Sweden and the increased violence uses by the police in return. The old fashioned policing methods are being replaced with a more equipped but heavy handed police force. The story has several strands - the murder of a porn film director, the story of Rebecca Lind a girl who has lost her boyfriend and who feels failed bu the system, and then a terrorist cell who are plotting to kill a visiting Senator. Beck ends up leading a multi-disciplinary team and all his colleagues we have grown to know over the series of books are involved. There are some surprises in the plot which I won’t give away and the ending is satisfactory although you are unsure what Beck will do with his career. I think it is a book which would be difficult to enjoy as much as a stand-alone. It builds up the characters through the series.
