Small-town Sweden, big-time secrets — and a detective who's barely holding it together.
Season 2 • Episode 10
LatestEva Höök has just become head of the county criminal investigation department's investigation rotel in Luleå. She moves to Luleå and lives with her brother with her son Lasse. In addition to trying to solve various cases, she also has a complicated private life, e.g. with a son who is having a hard time at school.
Acting
Raw, unglamorous lead performance that rejects cop show clichés.
Production
Luleå's bleak beauty becomes a character in itself.
Writing
Cases intertwine with personal chaos — nothing stays neat.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Höök arrived during the 2000s Nordic crime wave but never broke internationally like Wallander or The Bridge, possibly because it refused to romanticize its detective.
The show's Luleå setting was genuinely unusual — most Swedish crime sticks to Stockholm or Ystad, making this Arctic noir before that was a marketing term.
