'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 HIT TV SHOW THE KILLING
One blustery October morning in a quiet Copenhagen suburb, the police make a terrible discovery. A young woman is found brutally murdered with one of her hands missing. Above her hangs a small doll made of chestnuts.
Ambitious young detective Naia Thulin is assigned the case. Her partner, Mark Hess, is a burned-out investigator who's just been kicked out of Europol. 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. The man who confessed to her murder is behind bars and the case long since closed.
Soon afterwards, a second woman is found murdered, along with another chestnut man. Thulin and Hess suspect that there's a connection between the Hartung case and the murdered women. But what is it?
Thulin and Hess are racing against the clock, because it's clear that the killer is on a mission that is far from over . . .
'As in The Killing television series, Sveistrup offers lessons to seasoned practitioners of the serial-killer whodunit in how to inject new energy into this near-exhausted subgenre, and a reminder (via his portrayal of the families, homes and workplaces that his cops visit) that crimewriting has the potential to be eye-opening, panoramic social realism' Sunday Times

Must-read for fans of Nesbø and Kepler!
As I have read a lot of crime fiction in the past, I am used to a good deal of suspense, cruelty and horror. Upon starting to read Sveistrup's highly appraised thriller, I soon realized, however, that this brillant piece of fiction is playing in a very different league. It is absolutely recommendable for readers of Jo Nesbø and Lars Kepler and leaves you utterly perplexed by its extraordinary setting and gruesome atmosphere as well as Sveistrup's thought for detail and narrative style. I have not yet watched the famous Netflix series that was based on this thriller but I am most eager to find out if the TV adaptation is as gripping as the book. By far the best thriller that I have read this year.
