Publisher Description
Bez Joony Linny je policie bezmocná.
Před devíti lety byl pastor Rocky Kyrklund odsouzen za brutální vraždu a svěřen do psychiatrické péče. Z události si nic nepamatuje — od tragické autonehody trpí opakujícími se výpadky a ztrátou paměti.
Ve stejnou dobu, kdy se Rocky Kyrklund znovu vrací do společnosti, někdo policii pošle video ženy v okně. Následujícího dne je žena nalezena mrtvá. Brutalita vrahova útoku vyšetřovatele dovede k Rockymu Kyrklundovi. Policii přijde další videonahrávka. Nikdo nerozumí tomu, co se to děje. A Joona Linna více než před rokem zmizel. Skoro všichni si myslí, že je mrtvý. Skoro všichni.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Kepler's stellar fifth Joona Linna novel finds Joona, who faked his death in 2018's The Sandman to protect his family from a serial killer, replaced as the Swedish National Police Authority's expert on "serial killers, spree killers, and stalkers" by Margot Silverman. In Margot's baffling first case, Maria Carlsson, an Ikea product adviser, was stabbed repeatedly in her home, and her facial features were almost completely effaced. Maria's killer posted a video of Maria putting on tights, filmed from her garden, to YouTube shortly before the murder. Before Margot can make any progress, another video is posted of a woman eating ice cream and watching TV that also is followed by bloody slaughter. Joona reenters the picture after he learns that his nemesis is dead, but his unconventional methods again land him in trouble. The reveal of the stalker's identity is a genuine gut-punch, albeit fairly clued. Kepler (the pen name for the husband-and-wife writing team of Alexander and Alexandra Ahndoril) does a masterly job of elevating the serial killer thriller beyond genre clich s and tropes. 50,000-copy announced first printing.)
