Or is it?

But when Superintendent Lars Johansson begins to delve beneath the layers of corruption, incompetence and violence that threaten to strangle the Stockholm police department, he uncovers a complex web of treachery, politics and espionage.

Johansson quickly realizes that there is nothing routine about this suicide as it transports him from domestic drama to the rotten heart of Sweden's government.
