About this ebook

The international thriller sensation, now a major series on Paramount+

It starts with just one body – the hands bound, the skin covered in marks.

Detective Superintendent Jeanette Kihlberg is determined to find out who is responsible, despite opposition from her superiors. When two more bodies are discovered, it becomes clear that she is hunting a serial killer.

With her career on the line, Kihlberg turns to psychotherapist Sofia Zetterlund. Together, they expose a chain of shocking events that began decades ago – but will it lead them to the murderer before someone else dies?

This is not a novel for the faint-hearted - even by Scandi-Noir standards. It will test your resolve and your parental emotions will leave you feeling utterly wrung-out. But it is brilliantly written and the plot perfectly paced. A haunting masterpiece.

Well written knowledgeable police hunt for new and historic child murder victims and perpetrators who are involved in sexual abuse, graphically described. At over 900 pgs it could have been a labour, it lost one star for this but the author's skill in engaging lifts it above the ordinary.
