The chilling new novel from Norwegian superstar Jørn Lier Horst. This is Nordic Noir at its spine-tingling best

Thomas Kerr has finally agreed to lead the police to his final victim's grave. But the expedition goes horribly wrong after his escape into the Norwegian forest.
Wisting must launch a frantic search to find this cold-blooded killer before he strikes again.
But the body of another woman, killed weeks before, has been found. Murdered in the same way as Kerr's victims.
Is there a copycat killer on the loose?
As the clock counts down to the next murder, Wisting must put everything on the line to stop a terrifying evil before it strikes again.
