Detective Paul Hjelm faces a chilling case in Bad Blood, as he hunts a killer reminiscent of a long-dead serial murderer, racing against time.
In Bad Blood, Detective Paul Hjelm and his team receive an urgent call from the FBI regarding a chilling situation. A murderer, whose methods closely resemble those of a notorious serial killer thought to be long dead, is heading to Sweden. The FBI has been on the trail of the so-called 'Kentucky Killer,' a figure whose gruesome tactics left a lasting impact on the agents involved. The weapon he used to silence his victims by squeezing their vocal cords has become a haunting memory for those who investigated the case. Now, with the possibility of his return, the stakes are higher than ever.
As the investigation unfolds, Hjelm and his team must grapple with the terrifying prospect of a copycat killer. The urgency of their mission drives them to collaborate closely with the FBI, leading them on a frantic chase across various locations—from the rain-soaked streets of Sweden to the desolate landscapes of Kentucky. The team faces not only the physical challenges of the hunt but also the psychological toll of confronting a killer who embodies their worst fears.
Bad Blood promises to be a gripping addition to the Scandinavian crime genre, exploring themes of fear, obsession, and the lengths to which law enforcement will go to bring a killer to justice. As the tension escalates, Hjelm and his colleagues must rely on their instincts and training to navigate a complex web of clues that could either lead to the capture of a dangerous criminal or plunge them deeper into a deadly game of cat and mouse.
