One of the best thrillers (2020) of the year!

Kepler treats us readers to a nonstop roller coaster of suspense, taking us deep into the hearts and minds of perfectly realized characters.

And, oh, what a villain!

—Jeffery Deaver

This is a very intense novel.

A mysterious killer is brutally murdering Europe’s most loathsome criminals.

When police discover that two of the victims have disturbing connections to Detective Joona Linna, it’s clear that somebody’s trying to send him a message.

As the body count rises, the evidence seems to point to a ghost from Joona’s past… the most terrifying villain he’s ever had to face.

Surprisingly, detective Saga Bauer is the main character in this book.

Joona Linna disappeared in order to protect his daughter from the bad guy.
