Swedish Crime

Maud is an irascible 88-year-old Swedish woman with no family, no friends, and...no qualms about a little murder.

So Martin sets out to rescue Liv from her captors, with the aid of two Swedish detectives in a race against time - and across Sweden. In so doing, Martin and his intrepid detective duo put their very lives on the line.
