INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER - "A nonstop roller coaster of suspense,
taking us deep into the hearts and minds of perfectly realized
characters. And, oh, what a villain! ... The definition of a
one-sitting read!" --Jeffery Deaver, New York Times best-selling
author of The Goodbye Man
Sometimes the past won't stay buried.
All across Europe, the most ruthless criminals are suffering gruesome
deaths. At first, it seems coincidental that their underworld
affiliations are finally catching up to them. But when two of the
victims are found to have disturbing connections to Detective Joona
Linna, it becomes clear that there's a single killer at work. Still,
police are reluctant to launch an investigation. If a mysterious
vigilante is making their jobs easier, why stand in his way? Joona,
however, is convinced this is no would-be hero. These deaths serve a
much darker purpose.
Desperate for help, Joona turns to Saga Bauer. If his hunch is correct,
she's one of the few people who stands a chance at bringing this
criminal mastermind down. But Saga is fighting her own demons--and the
killer knows just how to use them to his advantage. He continues to
strike with impunity, and no one, it seems, is safe. When the killer
begins targeting those closest to Saga and Joona, it appears more and
more likely that Joona has been right all along, and that tracking down
the person responsible will force him to confront a ghost from his past
... the most terrifying villain he's ever had to face.
