My Review:- This book is 9th in the series, but can be read as a stand alone. The story splits half way through, so we have two different timelines, 2006,  when Anita is a detective in CIS (Criminal Investigation Squad) there is a robbery at a cash handling depot, which millions going missing a death,  and we have the present when Anita is now the Chief Inspector of the Unit and looking at a suicide or a murder of an elderly couple .  A FBI  agent arrives and wants help from Anita's unit to track down a Swedish man accused of murder in Chicago, but also has a connection about the 2006 robbery, There are many twists in the story which I like. Watch out for a mysterious character with pockmarked features.

I will be grabbing the other in the series.
