Book description
Read the number one Scandinavian crime bestseller taking the world by storm
Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm.
Detective Inspector Joona Linna is faced with a boy who witnessed the
gruesome murder of his family. He's suffered more than one hundred knife
wounds and is comatose with shock.
Linna's running out of time. The killer's on the run and, seemingly,
there are no clues. Desperate for information, Linna enlists disgraced
specialist Dr Erik Maria Bark, a hypnotist who vowed never to practice again.
As the hypnosis begins, a long and terrifying chain of events unfurls
with reverberations far beyond Linna's case. 'The thriller that's
taking Europe by storm…ferocious, visceral storytelling that wraps you
in a cloak of darkness. It's stunning.' DAILY MAIL
'One of the best - if not the best - Scandinavian crime thrillers I've
read.' RED
'All the hallmarks of a classic…a brutal crime, a missing child and an
irresistible detective. this is crime writing at its most devilishly
involving.' MARIE CLAIRE
'If the post-Stieg Larsson boom was ebbing, Kepler promises to
revitalise the genre by bringing a sulphurous whiff of Hannibal Lecter
to this case.' FINANCIAL TIMES
'A genuine chiller…commanding and deeply scarifying stuff.' INDEPENDENT
