| Description: | Select Guide Rating The 2010 murder of promising footballer Eddie Moussa shocked Sweden and turned his quaint, sports-crazed hometown into a byword for mafia brutality. Having gained exclusive access to families in the witness protection programme, crime reporter Ann Tornkvist tells the story of a bloody gang war laying siege to a once-peaceful town. The brutal 2010 murders of promising footballer Eddie Moussa and his brother were a harbinger of the gang violence now laying siege to Sweden. Written by crime reporter Ann Tornkvist, Follow Fucking Orders captures the freefall of a quaint town, known for its sports-crazed community and top-league football team, into a bloody turf war. After the biggest police investigation into organised crime in Swedish history, the local mob boss was sentenced to life for ordering the hit on Eddie. Author Ann Tornkvist followed the gripping story for five years, securing unique access to families who had fled into the witness protection programme. In 2016, the mob boss tried to derail this book''s publication by threatening to have her killed. Undeterred, Tornkvist published Follow Fucking Orders in Sweden in 2018. The first edition sold out within a week and soon became the most popular book in the country''s maximum-security prisons. Ultimately, the book offers a chilling reminder that true crime has no last chapter. |
