He manages to avoid them and to get back to his apartment and his wife, and he knows it's only a matter of time before the police catch up to him. Security is called the Stockholm cops are there to meet him as the ferry docks in Stockholm. Thinking about the two women in his life (one from an earlier time, one his wife), he sees red, loses his temper, and before he knows it, he's beating up the passenger, ending with kicks to his head, landing the guy in the hospital. He is employed as a band singer on the Åbo ferry between Stockholm and Finland, and one night while he's at work, in the middle of a song, he sees a drunk passenger give some unwanted attention to a young woman on the dance floor.

John Schwarz is a family man, living with his wife and young son in Stockholm. for another, the subject matter is extremely controversial, and will keep crime-fiction readers debating the main issue for a long while, especially here in America. For one thing, a great deal of the action takes place in the U.S.

Sliding in between the Roslund-Hellstrom writing duo's Box 21 and their award-winning Three Seconds at number three in the Ewert Grens series, Cell 8 is by far much different than anything else these authors have yet produced. John Meyer Frey can't be sitting in front of him.he died on Death Row six years earlier.Originally published as Edward Finnigans Upprättelse, 2006 When he learns that the man in his custody is in fact John Meyer Frey, an American citizen from Marcusville, Ohio, he's even more astonished. Suspicion turns to shock when Grens discovers that John Schwarz does not exist. As a precaution, he orders Schwarz arrested: one that is seemingly justified when Schwarz provides such resistance that he has to be sedated. Concerned by the details of the case report, Grens can't help but think someone capable of such violence must have a history of it. No one except Detective Superintendent Ewert Grens. As drunken brawls are commonplace on the Baltic cruising ferries, no one raises an eyebrow. One night, he loses his temper with a man harassing women in the crowd, beating him unconscious. A cheap crooner by the name of John Schwarz earns his keep on a ferry between Sweden and Finland, singing for drunken passengers. Translated from the original Swedish by Kari Dickson.
