When five thousand kronor goes missing from a seedy Stockholm hotel, it sets off a chain of events involving a hitman, a disillusioned priest, and an unlikely business venture. Per Persson, the hotel receptionist, wants to avoid trouble, but Johanna Kjellander, a priest without a parish, sees an opportunity. With the missing money in hand, she devises a plan that draws in the hitman, Anders, leading to an outrageously funny and chaotic journey filled with unexpected twists, shrewd dealings, and plenty of Moldovan red wine.Why You Should Read?

Enjoy a fast-paced and witty story that offers a fresh take on redemption and second chances, proving it's never too late to start anew, even for a hitman.
