The brand new thriller featuring Investigative Analyst Fredrika Bergman and Alex Recht of the Stockholm police. Shortly after a crowded New York-bound flight takes off from Stockholm, a bomb threat is found on board. Anonymous hijackers demand that the Swedish government revoke its decision to deport a Moroccan man. If their demands are not met, the plane will explode if it attempts to land. The US and Swedish governments must choose between negotiating with terrorists in order to save the four hundred passengers held hostage at thirty thousand feet, or to stand their ground and pursue the deportation of a possibly innocent man. Fredrika Bergman returns to the police force to act as a liaison between Police Superintendent Alex Recht, and the abrasive Eden Lundell, agent with the Security Service's counter-terrorism unit. But they soon realize that the plot behind the hijacking is far more complex than anyone initially thought. As the hours pass, the team are running out of options, and the plane is running out of fuel...

Excellent Thriller - Can be read as a standalone.
By Liz Barnsley
A really excellent thriller this one – I am aware now that there are previous novels in this series featuring Fredrika Bergman and Alex Recht but sadly these had passed me by – however in this case I have started “late” at the right point,this novel being a slight change in direction from the previous – and introducing (I believe) Eden Lundell, a character I fell in love with. I will certainly go back and read the others, however for the next reader, starting here will give you no problems whatsoever.
A series of bomb threats brings Alex Recht into contact with Sapo, the Swedish intelligence service and also back together with previous partner Fredricka Bergman – when the threats pass with no actual explosions, everyone is relieved if somewhat confused – however the real danger has just taken off from Stockholm and is en route to New York…
This is a novel of many twists and turns and some absolutely edge of the seat moments throughout…Alex has a particular reason for being determined to bring the plane down safely, but he is embroiled in political motivations and secrecy involving many agencies across a divide of many countries, so he has his work cut out for him. It is all very exciting, eminently readable and one of those page turners that keeps you burning the midnight oil…
I particularly liked the intricate plotting, the depth of the characters and the seamless way the author immerses you into the story – playing on some emotional issues with relation to the fight against terrorism, human rights and the issue of “how far is too far” it is an intelligently drawn novel that makes you think about those issues whilst at the same time being absolutely entertained and enthralled. The scenes on board the endangered flight are realistically scary, the mystery element is terrifically well written so you are never quite sure what is what and there is absolutely no promise of a happy ending so you barely get a chance to draw breath.
As I said earlier I loved Eden as a character – I am hoping that her story will continue – I also enjoyed the interpersonal relationships of the main protagonists from the series, the pragmatic look at work versus family and all in all it really was a very very good read with some tightly drawn characters and a very stimulating storyline.
Highly Recommended especially for fans of Scandinavian Fiction.
Happy Reading Folks!

4th in the Fredrika Bergman series
By audrey frances
This is the 4th book in the Fredrika Bergman series. Bergman is a civilian who has worked with the Stockholm Police Department. In the first book she is treated as an outsider by her team, but as the books progress they come to value her talents, but after the dramatic events of the third book, the team has split up and she is working at the Justice Department. It is not necessary to have read the other three books to enjoy this one, but you will probably enjoy it more if you've done so.
As the book opens we find out that a jet with 400 passengers, heading from Stockholm to New York City, has been hijacked as a mysterious person makes almost impossible demands of two governments. When the jet's fuel runs out, time is up. These events bring together old friends and colleagues as Fredrika liaisons with the police.
I like this series and thought this book furthered the personal stories of the characters, with a little more exposition given to policeman Alex, which was nice. Nobody seems very happy though. Even Fredrika, who seems to have everything she ever wanted, worries often about what her life has become, expressing dissatisfaction with many things. Often the narrative devotes a scene to life's minutiae, such as a couple discussing what to have for dinner, rather than any true tension to the story. The perpetrator is not identified until the end of the book, as is other information that could have been used to build tension. Some events are never explained, though they're brought up often. Sometimes obvious clues are not followed up, though at the end you find out they were important.
I thought the story was not as interesting as earlier books in the series, though I still enjoyed it, and I thought the characters were not as enjoyable -- except Eden Lundell, the Secret Service's counter terrorism head, who is a hoot.
Books in the Fredrika Bergman series are: Unwanted, Silenced, The Disappeared, Hostage.

Five Stars
By L. .G. avid reader
The Hostage was an amazing story that kept me reading. I read it in 2 days. I started one evening - stayed up late. then finally gave into sleep and finished it the next day.
It brings Fredrika and Alex Recht back together. They both work together in a case where a plane has been hijacked - they work with Sapo.
we get caught up with what has been going on in their lives - and how they have drifted apart - yet still stayed in touch. The hijacking of the airplane brings them back together using their unique skills and approach that helps in understanding the situatiion.
Who hijacked the plane> Why? Are certain things connected?
Alex has a very personal connection to the flight - and in wanting it to be resolved safely... but can he he do it? I really don;t want to say more because I would give the exciting story away
