Maria Nyberg's career is on the right track. She has risen to the position of local police area manager in her town and is responsible for the demanding work involving “Special Incidents.” When she meets her colleague Anders at a conference, the infatuation is immediate and Maria throws herself into the relationship. Anders is married, but says the divorce is near: the marriage has been dead for a long time. 

Helena is happily married to Anders, or at least that is what she thinks. Together they have a son, and although Helena has struggled with mental health issues at times, she enjoys her life. Until the day she finds out about Maria. Suddenly, everything collapses: Helena wants revenge, and Maria does not want the affair with Anders to affect her career. And nothing can stop the approaching catastrophe.

Linda Hedmark took inspiration from a real event when a police officer robbed a bank in a small town in Sweden. The officer then participated in the hunt for the robber, who was in fact himself. Beloved Police is a thrilling crime novel about the lives of those on the force, written by someone who has seen it all.
