The Blurb
Cry Wolf
Pack your thermals, listeners - we are heading to the north of Sweden! Detective Hanna Wester needs to solve a gruesome murder with the odds stacked against her in the shape of lazy colleagues, corrupt Finnish cops and a very busy commute. If you want a master class in how the police crack a complicated case you should probably look elsewhere. We are just making shit up as we go along. As usual. This week's episode is based on the blurb from the book "Cry Wolf" by Hans Rosenfeldt. If you have a book you'd like to hear us reinvent, or just want to say hello, we'd love to hear from you!
