Hide and Seek




From the internationally bestselling author of blockbuster thriller The Chestnut Man comes a spine-tingling new thriller

Count to one, count to two…
On a cold night in Copenhagen, Silje is on her way home when strange messages start appearing on her phone.
Count to three, count to four…
It starts as an innocent nursery rhyme – but when the texts turn sinister, Silje fears she’s in terrible danger.
Count to six, right after five. Will little Silje make it home alive?
When Silje disappears, Detectives Naia Thulin and Mark Hess are tasked with finding her. Thulin and Hess quickly uncover links to a decades-old case – one that started with that same rhyme, and ended in murder…
Count to seven, count to eight. Will you find me, before it’s too late?

Praise for Hide and Seek

Praise for Søren Sveistrup

Creepy, clever and packed with tension

Sun

A full-throttle thriller in the tradition of classic Stieg Larsson, drenched in atmosphere and charged with adrenaline. Buckle up. You'll gulp down every word. I loved this book

A.J. Finn

Superbly written and carries you along at breakneck speed. If you liked The Killing, you are going to love this

My Weekly

Søren Sveistrup, is clearly a master craftsman

Telegraph

Chilling psychological drama

Mail Online

A nail-biting, atmospheric thriller

The Herald

This might just be the thriller of the year...grips you from the opening page and never lets go, as we're pulled into a haunting whirlwind of secrets, deception and the dark side of the soul. The policing is top-notch, of course, and the characters - good and bad - are so real we're sure we've met them before. Brilliant!

Jeffery Deaver

The Stieg Larsson comparisons seem unfair - on Sveistrup. He is quite simply in another league

Metro

Has success written all over it

Daily Express

Excellent . . . A shrewd mix of police procedural, political thriller and domestic drama

New York Times

This is a terrific book, compelling and beautifully written by a true master of the genre

Peter James

This is a breathless read and most certainly unputdownable

Crime Time

Hide and Seek is Scandi noir at its finest

The Times Crime Book of the Month

An enthralling novelist...[a] prodigious crime epic
