Publisher Description
Et link til et klip på YouTube – 52 sekunder filmet ind gennem en kvindes soveværelsesvindue. Ingen ved Rigskrim tager det alvorligt. Ikke før kvinden findes myrdet i sit rækkehus. Og ikke før politiet får endnu en filmsekvens …
Den nye kommissær Margot Silverman sidder nu på Joona Linnas kontor og kæmper desperat for at identificere kvinden og advare hende. Forgæves.
Morderens andet offer hedder Susanna Kern. Hendes mand bliver så chokeret over at finde sin kone dræbt, at han lægger hende i seng og gør hele huset rent. Hvad har han set, der har traumatiseret ham så voldsomt? Margot Silverman presser psykiateren Erik Maria Bark til at forsøge med hypnose for at få svar. Det specielle forhør frembringer ubehagelige minder hos hypnotisøren – og oplysninger, som får ham til at lyve for politiet og begynde sin egen efterforskning.
Samtidig har kommissær Joona Linna været forsvundet i over et år, og alle tror, han er død. Næsten alle. For hans kollega Saga Bauer har ikke opgivet at finde ham og få ham ind i kampen mod den bestialske kvindemorder.
STALKER er femte bind i Kepler-serien med Joona Linna.
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.)
