HE WILL TRAP YOU IN A WORLD OF TERROR The groundbreaking first novel in the bestselling Joona Linna thriller series. Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm. Detective Inspector Joona Linna is faced with a boy who witnessed the gruesome murder of his family. He's suffered more than one hundred knife wounds and is comatose with shock. Linna's running out of time. The killer's on the run and, seemingly, there are no clues. Desperate for information, Linna enlists disgraced specialist Dr Erik Maria Bark, a hypnotist who vowed never to practice again. As the hypnosis begins, a long and terrifying chain of events unfurls with reverberations far beyond Linna's case. Perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo. Praise for Lars Kepler: 'The thriller that's taking Europe by storm...ferocious, visceral storytelling that wraps you in a cloak of darkness. It's stunning.' Daily Mail 'One of the best - if not the best - Scandinavian crime thrillers I've read.' Red 'All the hallmarks of a classic... this is crime writing at its most devilishly involving.' Marie Claire 'A genuine chiller...commanding and deeply scarifying stuff.' Independent 'Riddled with irresistible, nail-biting suspense, this first-class Scandinavian thriller is one of the best I've ever read.' Australian Women's Weekly 'A rollercoaster ride of a thriller full of striking twists.' Mail on Sunday 'An horrific and original read.' The Sun 'a sulphurous whiff of Hannibal Lecter.'

Seller's Description:
Dispatched, from the UK, within 48 hours of ordering. Though second-hand, the book is still in very good shape. Minimal signs of usage may include very minor creasing on the cover or on the spine.
Gave up on this about 2/3 through. Page after page of simplistic dialogue. They call this Nordic Mour, but other than a few unpronounceable street names it offers none of the cultural insights I was hoping for. The polt is plodding and some of the characters are just one dimensional. I tried, I really did, but it's just not a good book.

A GOOD BOOK-LONG - AND SEEMS TO WANDER AT TIMES- ENJOYED.

The only way...
The only way you will enjoy this book is if someone hypnotizes you. It is a poorly written, implausibly contrived that does not live up to its comparison with the Steig Larrsson books. As Dorothy Parker said, "It is not a book to be out aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force."
