Piet Hoffman, a top secret operative for the Swedish police, is about to embark on his most dangerous assignment yet: after years spent infiltrating the Polish mafia, he's become a key player in their attempt to take over amphetamine distribution inside Sweden's prisons. To stop them from succeeding, he will have to go deep cover, posing as a prisoner inside the country's most notorious jail. ![]() ![]() But when a botched drug deal involving Hoffman results in a murder, the investigation is assigned to the brilliant but haunted Detective Inspector Ewert Grens--a man who never gives up until he's cracked the case. Grens's determination to find the killer not only threatens to expose Hoffman's true identity-it may reveal even bigger crimes involving the highest levels of power. And there are people who will do anything to stop him from discovering the truth. Winner of the Swedish Academy of Crime Writers' 2009 award for Best Swedish Crime Novel of the Year, and a #1 best-seller there, Three Seconds captures a nefarious world of betrayal and violence, where a wise man trusts no one and even the most valuable agent can be “burned.”.

Ex-con Piet Hoffman, now a “covert human intelligence source” for the Stockholm police, is deeply implanted into the Polish Mafia. He is attempting to stop the organization from controlling drug distribution in Sweden’s prisons, and all the while, Hoffman is also a family man with a wife and two young sons.

Ex-con Piet Hoffman, now a “covert human intelligence source” for the Stockholm police, is deeply implanted into the Polish Mafia. He is attempting to stop the organization from controlling drug distribution in Sweden’s prisons, and all the while, Hoffman is also a family man with a wife and two young sons. When Hoffman is involved in a fouled-up drug deal that leads to murder, investigating detective Ewert Grens inadvertently threatens to wreck the operation. Afraid that Hoffman will disclose the Swedish government’s illegal involvement in his assignment, his handlers blow his cover while he’s trapped in Aspsås prison,a maximum-security lockup. With the Swedish police, the Swedish government, and the Polish Mafia all wanting him dead, Hoffman utilizes Grens in his plan for escape from Aspsås. In 2009, 'Three Seconds' was awarded the Swedish Academy of Crime Writers' Award for Swedish Crime Novel of the Year, previously won by both Steig Larsson and Henning Mankell.
