In The Executioner’s Kiss, Malin is back in Linköping after a long time as liaison officer in the metropolis of Bangkok. She has managed to keep herself sober, but is restless and needs a complicated case to keep her desire to drink in control.
Then a plane gets highjacked at Linköping Airport, and Malin and her colleagues are thrown into the worst hostage situation in Swedish history. The hijacker, who has taken the right to decide over the destiny of others, threatens the lives of over forty men, women and children. Can a few lives be sacrificed to save many?
