A newly put-together police force tries to solve the old mystery of the murder of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme in 1986.
DEATH OF A PILGRIMA Nordic crime mini-series on the murder of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme and the fall of the welfare state.
The series is based on highly acclaimed Swedish writer and criminologist Leif GW Perssons award winning The Fall of the Welfare State trilogy. Together these novels tell a vibrant tale of conspiracy, espionage, murder, comedy and abuse of state power through a fascinating and flawed set of characters; a tale that resonates with our own time and beyond Scandinavia.
Death of a pilgrim is a highly entertaining and informed combination of satire, black humour, thriller, psychological drama and police procedure. It is a universal story, mirroring other international conflicts as well as questioning modern democracy.
