About the book
Read the number one Scandinavian crime bestseller taking the world by storm 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.

2.0I thought it sounded very promising, but the timeline is so messy, and the writing style wasn't for me (especially in Neil Smith's English translation), and I was so focused on how confusing it all was that I couldn't really enjoy the plot. Also, Joona Linna is supposed to be the main character? His contribution to the plot can be summarized like this: Chapter two: "I'm always right, you'll see" 500 pages later, on the phone to a person who has just been through massive trauma: "See, I was right. Told you so." Yeah, this wasn't for me.
