Made in Sweden, Part 1

The Father, part one of a two-novel series, is based on an extraordinary true story of three brothers who committed a string of audacious bank robberies in Sweden that paralyzed the nation in the 1990's. None of the young men, all of whom were under the age of twenty-four, had ever committed a crime before. But by the time their incredible lawless spree had come to an end, they would be considered criminal masterminds. This unforgettable, heartbreaking thriller--written with rare insight by the fourth brother, who never committed any crimes and grew up to become a screenwriter--shows how these young men were transformed by their violent, perfectionist father from innocent children into the most wanted criminals in Sweden
