About this ebook

#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • “A nonstop roller coaster of suspense, taking us deep into the hearts and minds of perfectly realized characters. And, oh, what a villain! ... The definition of a one-sitting read!” —Jeffery Deaver, New York Times best-selling author of The Goodbye Man

Sometimes the past won't stay buried.


All across Europe, the most ruthless criminals are suffering gruesome deaths. At first, it seems coincidental that their underworld affiliations are finally catching up to them. But when two of the victims are found to have disturbing connections to Detective Joona Linna, it becomes clear that there’s a single killer at work. Still, police are reluctant to launch an investigation. If a mysterious vigilante is making their jobs easier, why stand in his way? Joona, however, is convinced this is no would-be hero. These deaths serve a much darker purpose.
 
Desperate for help, Joona turns to Saga Bauer. If his hunch is correct, she’s one of the few people who stands a chance at bringing this criminal mastermind down. But Saga is fighting her own demons—and the killer knows just how to use them to his advantage. He continues to strike with impunity, and no one, it seems, is safe. When the killer begins targeting those closest to Saga and Joona, it appears more and more likely that Joona has been right all along, and that tracking down the person responsible will force him to confront a ghost from his past ... the most terrifying villain he’s ever had to face.

horror, international-crime-and-mystery, Scandinavian noir, law-enforcement, family-dynamics, friendship, suspense, thriller, torture**** If you like your murders gory and filled with both physical and psychological torture and horror you will love this book. The evil one outdoes Jeffrey Dahmer and Hannibal Lecter, partly because he directs minion on the outside while he remains in the prison for crazies. The authors are Swedish, and the translator for English readers is Neil Smith. This book is engrossing, but I have not read the others and did feel that this was a disadvantage for me. The publisher's blurb is very effective. I requested and received a free ebook copy from Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group/Knopf via NetGalley.
