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.
"Originally published in Sweden as Lazarus by Albert Bonniers Förlag, Stockholm, in 2018." -- Verso.
Sequel to: Kaninjägren. Published in English as: The rabbit hunter.
In English, translated from the Swedish.
"The latest installment in the internationally best-selling Joona Linna series sees the Swedish detective on the trail of the worst serial killer he's seen yet. Across the continent, someone is brutally murdering Europe's worst criminals. Who can object to taking out rapists, arsonists, human traffickers? But when two of the victims have a direct connection to detective Joona Linna, it's clear to him that somebody's trying to send him a message. His longtime colleague Saga Bauer dismisses his hunch as paranoid ravings, but all evidence points to a killer who they previously thought could only haunt their dreams. As innocent bodies begin to pile up in Sweden, the race is on to track down the most terrifying villain they've ever encountered"-- Provided by publisher.
