Raid

Raid is based on detective stories by author Harri Nykänen and adapted into a 12-part series. The story follows a police officer investigating white-collar crimes who is shot dead in a TV studio. Another policeman takes his own life at his summer home, and a young woman, an executive with a powerful electronics company, also commits suicide. Her embittered father suspects foul play and invites Raid, the woman's former boyfriend, to "make inquiries." Meanwhile, the police are searching for the first killer, and the trail leads directly to Raid. However, they soon realize the true culprit is someone else, and the interests of the police and the avenging angel Raid align. The uneasy partnership reveals that even those with strong morals may, to some extent, use immoral means to achieve their goals. The Raid series was voted the best TV programme in Finland in the year 2000. Tapio Piirainen received awards for best script and best direction. The series was also honored with a prestigious film award and the Finnish Whodunnit Society's award. The music from the series achieved gold and platinum sales.
