woman entering the house, killing David, and running off with their
son--but all the evidence points to her guilt. Annika Bengtzon is
drawn headfirst into the case, because she believes that Julia is
about to be falsely charged. But will anyone else believe it?
Chilling and complex, this thriller will have you guessing until
the shocking end.

A journalist is murdered in the frozen white landscape of a
northern Swedish town. Annika Bengtzon, a reporter at a
Stockholm-based tabloid, was planning to interview him about a

suspects that his death is linked to that attack.
Against the explicit orders of her boss, she begins to investigate
the event, which is soon followed by a series of shocking murders.
Annika knows the murders are connected. At the same time, she
begins to suspect that her husband is hiding something, and nothing
can counteract the loneliness that has crept into her life.

killer with the soul of a lover. In the end, she must discover the

killer.
The killing is simply marvelous
Kanon's daughter, Kimmy, and her boyfriend were murdered while on
vacation in Rome. Since then, young couples in Paris, Copenhagen,
Frankfurt, and Stockholm have been found dead. Little connects the
murders, other than a postcard to the local newspaper that precedes
each new victim.
Wish you were here
Now Kanon teams up with the Swedish reporter, Dessie Larsson, who
has just received a postcard in Stockholm--and they think they know
where the next victims will be. With relentless logic and
unstoppable action, "The Postcard Killers" may be James Patterson's
most vivid and compelling thriller yet.
