In Three Hours, the thrilling conclusion of the trilogy, Ewert Grens and Piet Hoffmann face life-threatening challenges across continents.
In Three Hours, the gripping conclusion to the Ewert Grens-Piet Hoffmann trilogy, readers are thrust into a harrowing narrative that unfolds across two continents. The story begins in Stockholm, where a tragic discovery of seventy-three refugees, suffocated in a shipping container at Varta harbour, sends shockwaves through the community. As authorities scramble to understand the circumstances surrounding this horrific event, the narrative shifts to Niamey, Niger, where Ewert Grens finds himself on a quest for a man from his past, leading him into the heart of a dangerous world.
Piet Hoffmann, a character familiar to readers of the previous novels, is once again in over his head. He has infiltrated a ruthless West African trafficking ring, believing he has a mere two weeks to escape. However, the stakes are raised dramatically as he realizes that his life, and the lives of many vulnerable individuals, hinge on his decisions over the course of three critical hours. This tense countdown adds a layer of urgency to the plot, as Hoffmann navigates treacherous waters, both literally and figuratively.
As the narrative weaves between the two locations, themes of desperation, sacrifice, and the fight for survival emerge. Three Hours is not just a thriller; it’s a poignant exploration of human resilience in the face of unimaginable challenges, drawing readers into its gripping tale until the very last page.
Roslund / Hellstrom are among the very best crime novelists around. They write with courage and intensity about the important issues of our time.
