A family of four has been foully attacked in Sweden. The father at the
soccer centre and the others at their home, all stabbed numerous
times and their bodies dismembered. Only the son survives, covered
with multiple cuts. Detective Joona Linna wants to hypnotise the young
lad to find the perpetrator and save his older sister from the same
thing happening to her.
Linna wants to investigate the case. He
feels that it is much more than just a local case, but his superiors
disagree. It is only when he is proven right about the sequence of the
murders that Linna is given the case.
Erik Bark is the doctor
Linna is trying to convince to hypnotise the young victim. It takes
some convincing, but interesting information is revealed when the first
hypnosis occurs.
As the story unfolds author Lars Kepler tells
the reader about each of the characters in the story. Things don't seem
to be as they should when the missing sister is found. As more
evidence comes to light and other people become threatened the story
takes on a very chilling aspect. From that point on the novel becomes
more and more intense until the ultimate climax. Well written and very
much worth the read.
