A woman in New York is a trendspotter for hip companies; back in Sweden, her younger brother Fadi becomes radicalized and heads to Syria; and in London, another woman has a laptop stolen after a night of drinking.
How these three storylines connect, and are connected to shadowy government agencies, is at the center of Swedish thriller The Believer by Joakim Zander.
This is a big, globe-trotting book ready-made for a movie adaptation starring Emily Blunt. In the writing world, I would most closely equate Zander with late-era John LeCarre.
Slices of immigrant life in Sweden adds value to one of those big conspiracy storylines it never pays to think too hard about.
I checked this out from the Morrisson-Reeves Library in Richmond, Indiana.
