JUSTIFY ALL MEANS (HELGA ALLA MEDEL)

When seventeen-year-old Leo is found tortured and murdered in a bare shelter in one of Stockholm’s northern suburbs, Billie decides to go undercover as a teacher at his high school. A police murder in connection with what initially seemed to be a routine raid has devastating consequences for Billie’s best friend, police officer Klara.

Nineteen-year-old Denise sits in her teenage room dreaming of a city life, away from the suburb. Dreams that lead her down paths from which there is no turning back.
Three destinies in a wounded society intertwine, forcing Billie to dive into a world she has previously avoided. A world where the ends justify all means.

Justify All Means is the second standalone installment in the series about Billie Karlsson, the successful investigative journalist and the woman behind the award-winning true crime podcast “Truth.”

REVIEWS

“Axelsson & Bonelli write fast and driven with high pace. It is exciting and both the environment and the characters feel authentic and very current.”
BTJ / SWE

“I was lyrical about the first book but this one is even better. […] The authors have accurately portrayed the ruthlessness, while the story is deeply moving. It is just not possible to stop reading”
boktokig / SWE

“It’s a cruel reality that Ida and Åsa highlight through their story! […] It is strong, moving, thought-provoking and extremely well written. As I have written before; I like Billie and her big heart so much. She is driven by a genuine commitment […] Yes, I am aware that she is a fictional character but she is extremely alive to me.”
Boksann / SWE

“Billie is back! And we are thrown into an exciting book […] I liked the first book a lot, but this one is probably even sharper!” Rating: 5/5
