Thriller

An interesting international thriller set in Scandinavia, London and South Africa. The former Soviet Union has tens of thousands of nuclear weapons already and the Russian army wants to destroy them but it hasn’t got enough money to do it, so Sweden decides to help Russia to achieve it, to prevent terrorists from getting the weapons.

In Stockholm, an important Swedish politician is the victim of an attack and he almost dies.

Monica is an agent for the Swedish Military Intelligence and she has to find out who tried to kill the politician. She is helped by an agent of the British Intelligence.

During the investigation Monica meets a guitarist and both of them have a nice time.

Personal opinion:
I would recommend its reading because it is very entertaining and the interest is kept along the whole book.
