This is a terrific book, compelling and beautifully written by a true master of the genre – Peter JamesPraise for Søren Sveistrup – :Creepy, clever and packed with tension * Sun *Excellent … A shrewd mix of police procedural, political thriller and domestic drama * New York Times *This might just be the thriller of the year…grips you from the opening page and never lets go, as we’re pulled into a haunting whirlwind of secrets, deception and the dark side of the soul.
