From the Publisher:
A U.S. release of an internationally best-selling title finds Swedish Detective Inspector Joona Linna investigating the murders of three family members, whose killing was witnessed by a fourth intended victim, a traumatized child whose shock Linna hopes to penetrate through a controversial hypnotism session. (suspense). |
Annotation:
After the rest of his family is savagely murdered before his eyes, teenager Joseph suffers intense trauma. He is, however, a critical witness to Detective Inspector Joona Linna's murder investigation. Working with an experienced hypnotist, the detective goes into the dark recesses of Joseph's psyche, uncovering truths about the crime that are even more disturbing than the bloody corpses initially suggested. This book topped Swedish best-seller lists and author Lars Kepler (which turned out to be the pseudonym for a devilish husband-and-wife authorial team) was hailed as "the next Stieg Larsson." And indeed, the dark details of this violent mystery perfectly combine with the atmosphere that fans of Scandinavian crime fiction have come to love.
