Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: "In the latest installment of the Killer Instinct series, seventeen-year-old Jenny is abducted in broad daylight and taken to a dilapidated, isolated house where she is chained and caged along with several other girls. Their captor is unpredictable, and as wily as he is cruel: he foils every one of their desperate attempts to escape... and once caught they rarely survive their punishment. Five years later, Jenny is found dead in a public park, and the police are scrambling to find a lead among the scant evidence. But Detective Joona Linna realizes that this murder has an eerie connection to a death that was declared a suicide years before. And now when Mia, a seventeen-year-old orphan, goes missing, it becomes clear to Joona that they are dealing with a serial killer--and the murderous rampage has just begun. As the police close in on the killer, Mia and her fellow captives are plunged into ever greater danger, and Joona finds himself in a seemingly impossible race against time to save their young lives"-- Provided by publisher.

Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

#1 INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER * Detective Joona Linna is on the trail of a kidnapper who targets teenage girls and makes their worst nightmares a reality.

"Dark, disturbing, and chillingly relentless. Picture Hannibal Lecter sitting down to channel Stieg Larsson and then dial it way, way up!" --Brad Thor, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Black Ice

Sixteen-year-old Jenny Lind is kidnapped in broad daylight on her way home from school and thrown into the back of a truck. She's taken to a dilapidated house, where she and other girls face horrors far beyond their worst nightmares. Though they're desperate to escape, their captor foils everyone of their attempts.

Five years later, Jenny's body is found hanging in a playground, strung up with a winch on a rainy night. As the police are scrambling to find a lead in the scant evidence, Detective Joona Linna recognizes an eerie connection between Jenny's murder and a death declared a suicide years before. And when another teenage girl goes missing, it becomes clear to Joona that they're dealing with a serial killer--and his murderous rampage may have just begun.
