Premise
[edit]Detective Tommy Conley travels to Stockholm to advise and investigate a particularly gruesome series of murders.[7] Young, blonde, blue-eyed women are found murdered at regular intervals near water bodies and flower fields. Conley has to work with the Swedish investigator Mikael Eklund.[7] The two hate each other, both fight with their own demons.
