Publisher Description
En ung småbarnsmor blir funnet død. Hun er det fjerde offeret på kort tid. I avisredaksjonen aner man en seriemorder, noe Annika Bengtzon avfeier som ville fantasier. Thomas, mannen hennes, blir på en konferanse i Nairobi kidnappet sammen med seks andre personer fra ulike deler av Europa. Samtidig som antallet myrdede kvinner stiger, og mistanken om en seriemorder også begynner å ta form hos politiet, blir Annika dratt inn i et voldsomt kidnappingsdrama som ryster både Europa og Øst-Afrika.
Dette er den niende boken om Annika Bengtzon..
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Marklund's meandering ninth Annika Bengtzon thriller (after 2014's The Long Shadow), the Swedish reporter pursues a story for the Stockholm newspaper Evening Post, trying to determine whether a serial killer is responsible for the death of a young mother whose body is found near a nursery school. Meanwhile, Annika's newly reconciled husband, Thomas Samuelsson, has volunteered to attend an EU conference in Kenya. But during a trip to the Somali border, all seven delegates are kidnapped by rebel soldiers, who threaten to execute the delegates unless their exorbitant ransom for each hostage is met. The uneven action awkwardly moves from the overly graphic torture of the hostages to Annika's efforts to deal with home, work, the kidnappers, and the political ramifications. While Annika remains a strong, intriguing character, the grueling scenes in Kenya overwhelm the exhausting plot.
