Who have you spoken to about me? What do you know about Operation Wahasha? What have you told Detective Sara Nowak? These are the last words priest Jurgen Stiller hears before he is executed by a former terrorist known only by the codename 'Faust'. Then the killer begins the hunt for Detective Sara Nowak. Nowak is dangerously unaware that she is a target - until she is shot at in her own home. As Nowak races to unmask her would-be assassin, the trail leads her back to West Germany, to a group of radical terrorist fanatics - and to a deadly question: What was Operation Wahasha? With Faust closing in, Nowak must find the answers before many more lives are taken - including her own.

'A fast-paced thriller . . . An impressive debut' - FINANCIAL TIMES The incredible thriller about a codeword, an extraordinary murder - and the detective who must solve both to stop a deadly plot fifty years in the making. Geiger is the perfect read for fans of I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. __________________ The landline rings as Agneta is waving off her grandchildren. Just one word comes out of the receiver: 'Geiger'. For decades, Agneta has always known that this moment would come, but she is shaken. She knows what it means. Retrieving her weapon from its hiding place, she attaches the silencer and creeps up behind her husband before pressing the barrel to his temple. Then she squeezes the trigger and disappears - leaving behind her wallet and keys. The extraordinary murder is not Sara Nowak's case. But she was once close to those affected and, defying regulations, she joins the investigation. What Sara doesn't know is that the mysterious codeword is just the first piece in the puzzle of an intricate and devastating plot fifty years in the making . . . Praise for Geiger: 'Exciting, extremely clever, incredible. An instant classic' - TOM MARCUS, author of SOLDIER SPY 'An astonishing, assured and terrifying debut . . . Remarkable' - DAVID YOUNG, author of STASI CHILD 'Tense enough that your muscles will ache by the end' - HELEN FIELDS, author of PERFECT REMAINS 'An intriguing masterpiece that keeps you guessing right to the end' - Jo, Netgalley Reviewer *Translated from Swedish by Ian Giles*
