Synopsis

Stockholm, 1944.

Britta Ekdahl has spent her life believing facts matter.

Fresh from university, she accepts a position in Administrative Review, a quiet Swedish government office responsible for documenting foreign nationals caught in the shadow of war. Her job is simple: listen carefully, translate accurately, and never ask questions.

Then Intake Two arrives.

The prisoner calls himself Mats Johansson. He claims to be American. He speaks flawless Swedish. His story appears routine until a series of small inconsistencies raise questions about who he really is.

Britta's observations should have been insignificant. Instead, they attract the attention of powerful officials who realize she is getting dangerously close to secrets they cannot afford to expose—secrets involving men quietly positioning Swedish rail and administrative systems to favor a future German victory while protecting their own influence inside Sweden.

Betrayed by people she trusted and pursued across wartime Sweden, Britta is forced to rely on Grey House investigator Arvid Söderlund, a relentless tracker with a talent for finding people who do not want to be found.

From the streets of Stockholm to the remote mountains of Jämtland, she must uncover the truth before those determined to bury it silence her forever.

Set against the tense neutrality of World War II Sweden, Intake Two is a historical thriller about loyalty, deception, political conspiracy, and the courage required to record the truth when powerful people would rather rewrite it.
