Description:
From Søren Sveistrup, the acclaimed creator of the Danish television hit The Killing, comes a chilling and suspenseful crime thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. In a quiet Copenhagen suburb, the gruesome discovery of a brutally murdered young woman, missing one hand, sends shockwaves through the community. Above her hangs a small doll crafted from chestnuts – the signature of a terrifying serial killer who stalks the city. Ambitious young detective Naia Thulin is assigned to the case, partnered with the burned-out investigator Mark Hess, recently returned from Europol. As they delve into the unsettling details, they uncover a crucial piece of evidence on one of the 'chestnut men': a fingerprint belonging to a girl who vanished a year prior and is presumed dead, the daughter of a prominent politician, Rosa Hartung. But the man who confessed to that earlier murder is already behind bars, leaving the detectives questioning everything. As more bodies are discovered, each accompanied by another macabre chestnut doll, Thulin and Hess race against time to connect the dots between the past and present, because it's clear the killer's mission is far from over. This is a dark, gritty, and captivating example of Nordic Noir, perfect for fans of crime thrillers, police procedurals, and twisted murder mysteries, particularly those who enjoyed The Killing and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This signed first edition hardback, often part of a limited run, is a valuable addition for collectors of modern crime fiction and those seeking a truly immersive and unforgettable read.
