The Bucket List is the gripping debut novel by award-winning writing team Peter Mohlin and Peter Nyström, launching a stunning new Nordic noir series featuring Swedish American FBI Agent John Adderley in a strong crime novel of psychological richness and depth for readers of Henning Mankell and Jo Nesbø.
 
Undercover FBI agent John Adderley wakes up in a hospital bed in Baltimore with extensive gunshot wounds. He knows he’s lucky to be alive. And just a few beds away is the man who 24 hours ago pointed a gun to his head.
 
Ten years earlier in Sweden, Emelie, the young heiress to H&M-esque clothing empire AckWe has gone missing. When local police find blood and semen in a deserted area, they arrest a teenage boy. He denies the charges, and since the body is never found, he can’t be prosecuted.
 
Back in the present, Emelie’s high-profile cold case file is sent to Agent Adderley, now living in Sweden (where he’s not lived since he was a boy) in witness protection, hiding until he can testify against the drug cartel he infiltrated back in the States. Adderley is determined to solve Emelie’s case, but at the same time, he knows that the drug cartel has a price on his head . . .

 
Peter Mohlin and Peter Nyström grew up together in a small Swedish town and created their first crime novel when they were both 10. After careers in journalism and directing/screenwriting respectively, they decided to pick up where they left off and write crime novels together, realizing their strengths make a fruitful combination—the journalist’s sharp pen mixed with the screenwriter’s sense of dramaturgy and dialogue. The Bucket List, their first novel, was a winner of Sweden’s Crimetime Award for Best Debut Novel and has been sold in 15 countries. They are based in Sweden.

— Publishers Weekly

“Peter Mohlin and Peter Nyström’s The Bucket List is a classic Nordic noir thriller—tight, layered, and so chilly that it shivers...Subtle psychological elements make each scene rich... an ambitious crime thriller that crosses a decade of secrets, lies, and family stories.”
 
— Foreword Reviews

“Scandinavian noir at its finest..the authors’ masterful plot keeps you engaged the entire way through... This is the kind of book that grabs you from the very first page and keeps you firmly in its grip until the thrilling and unexpected conclusion. It’s dark and gritty, and so gripping that you can’t stop until the mystery is solved...The Bucket List is a tour de force blend of mystery and intrigue."
 
— Fansided

“Boosted by smooth and deft translation by Ian Giles, The Bucket List...weaves in lively side episodes of passion and pretense...The only thing better than the pleasure of this suspenseful and tightly plotted ‘Scandi noir’ investigation is knowing there’s a sequel on the way.”
— New York Journal of Books
