#1 INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER - Detective Joona Linna is on the trail of a kidnapper who targets teenage girls and makes their worst nightmares a reality. Dark, disturbing, and chillingly relentless. Picture Hannibal Lecter sitting down to channel Stieg Larsson and then dial it way, way up! --Brad Thor, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Black Ice Sixteen-year-old Jenny Lind is kidnapped in broad daylight on her way home from school and thrown into the back of a truck. She's taken to a dilapidated house, where she and other girls face horrors far beyond their worst nightmares, and every attempt at escape brings harsh punishment. Five years later, Jenny's body is found hanging in a playground. As the police are scrambling to find a lead in the scant evidence, Detective Joona Linna recognizes an eerie connection between Jenny's murder and a death declared a suicide years before. And when another teenage girl goes missing, it becomes clear to Joona that they're dealing with a serial killer--and his murderous rampage may have only just begun.
I am using this book to write a recommendation for the whole series by the Lars Kepler team. Their writing style is exceptional. Every book is a page burner/turner. I have read them all and invariably while reading I will not have any idea how much I have read in a short period of time. Their plot designs are also outstanding. Not once have I been able to predetermine what is or will happen before I get there. Every time I think I have the formula figured out they throw a wrench in the works. These are some of the best I have ever read.
