INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER - In the latest installment of the Killer Instinct series, Detective Joona Linna is on the trail of a kidnapper who targets teenage girls and makes their worst nightmares a reality. Sixteen-year-old Jenny is abducted in broad daylight and taken to a dilapidated, isolated house where she is chained and caged along with several other girls. Their captor is unpredictable, and as wily as he is cruel: He foils every one of their desperate attempts to escape ... and once caught, they rarely survive their punishment. Five years later, Jenny is found dead in a public park, and the police are scrambling to find a lead among the scant evidence. But Detective Joona Linna realizes that this murder has an eerie connection to a death that was declared a suicide years before. And now when Mia, a seventeen-year-old orphan, goes missing, it becomes clear to Joona that they are dealing with a serial killer--and the murderous rampage has just begun. As the police close in on the killer, Mia and her fellow captives are plunged into ever greater danger, and Joona finds himself in a seemingly impossible race against time to save their young lives.
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.
