True Crime Mystery

First published in 1924, Charles E. Pearce’s account of some of the most gruesome and intriguing unsolved murders of the 19th century continues to captivate amateur sleuths to this day. Pearce guides us through a fascinating world of wicked assassinations, missed clues, ingenious stratagems, and cunning deceits in one last attempt to track down historical villains who evaded justice. It is impossible to establish the truth beyond reasonable doubt in any of the cases at this distance, but the light which Pearce sheds on the investigations and contemporary testimony, encourages us to evaluate the evidence anew.

33-årige Janne dödades av en fjärrutlöst bomb som apterats i hans bil. Dådet utfördes mitt i Helsingfors i juli 2002 och gav upphov till långtgående spekulationer. Efter en intensiv utredning lyckades helsingforspolisen klarlägga bakgrunden - som visade sig ganska krånglig. Mordet var ett beställningsjobb, där uppdragsgivaren ville göra sig av med Janne för att han inte längre skulle "stå i vägen" för honom och hans flickvän. I Nordisk kriminalkrönika berättar poliser själva om sina mest uppmärksammade, omskakande, och svåra fall.

Den här historien handlar om några unga män i Uppsala, vars kriminella verksamhet spred skräck och fasa bland alla som kom i deras väg. När brotten behandlades i domstol myntades begreppet Uppsala-maffian i medierna. Någon maffia i egentlig mening var det inte fråga om - även om gängets metoder liknade dem som förknippas med maffians. "Liga" är en mer adekvat benämning på den grupp som en åklagare försiktigtvis kallade "kamratgäng". Hur som helst handlade det om allvarliga brott och mycket stora pengar.
