Season 1 Plot
CID inspector Jenny Hultin puts together the A-group, a group of six carefully selected police officers with varied backgrounds from all over the country. The cases that the A-group handles are high-priority threats involving particularly complex and dangerous violent crimes with a direct or indirect international connection. The hunt for murderers and psychopaths puts a heavy strain on relationships within the group, as well as on the members’ private lives, which prove to harbour unexpected secrets – sometimes with a disturbing connection to their work.
Arne Dahl Season 1 aired on December 27th, 2011.
