'A full-throttle thriller in the tradition of classic Stieg
Larsson, drenched in atmosphere and charged with adrenaline. Buckle
up. You'll gulp down every word. I loved this book' A. J. Finn,
author of The Woman In The Window THE DEBUT NOVEL FROM THE CREATOR
AND WRITER OF THE KILLING The police make a terrible discovery in a
suburb of Copenhagen. A young woman has been killed and dumped at a
playground. One of her hands has been cut off, and above her hangs
a small doll made of chestnuts. Young detective Naia Thulin is
assigned the case. Her partner is Mark Hess, a burned-out
investigator who's just been kicked out of Europol's headquarters
in The Hague. They soon discover a mysterious piece of evidence on
the chestnut man - evidence connecting it to a girl who went
missing a year earlier and is presumed dead, the daughter of
politician Rosa Hartung. A man confessed to her murder, and the
case is long since solved. Soon afterwards, another woman is found
murdered, along with another chestnut man. Thulin and Hess suspect
that there's a connection between the Hartung case, the murdered
women and a killer who is spreading fear throughout the country.
But what is it? Thulin and Hess are racing against the clock,
because it's clear that the murderer is on a mission that is far
from over . . .
