Lars Kepler surpasses all expectations with his fourth novel

One cold winter night, a young man appears on a railway bridge in Stockholm. He is emaciated, severely hypothermic, and has Legionnaires' disease. A shocking fact is revealed at the hospital: According to the population register, the young man is supposed to have been dead for seven years.

How is that possible? After all, the serial killer Jurek Walter is suspected of his murder, who was arrested thirteen years ago by Commissioner Joona Linna and sentenced to life imprisonment in a closed psychiatric ward. An old case needs to be reinvestigated. The serial killer is surrounded by many mysteries. We must act quickly, for time is running out. What if the young man's sister, who disappeared with him that day, is still alive?

" The well-known structure of Kepler' s books is spiced up with perfectly heightened tension. Short chapters, parallel clues, initially inexplicable clues, a refined sense of style, and unexpected changes of pace. "
