The Hypnotist, Lars Kepler


National CID Detective Joona Linna takes on a bizarre and tragic murder case.  A young Swedish family hacked to pieces in their own home.  Questioning the barely surviving witness is not an option, the boy’s life hangs by a thread.  What Linna needs is a hypnotist.

Erik Maria Bark is that hypnotist, problem is he gave up practising ten years ago.  Bark went on national TV and swore he would never hypnotise another soul.  But the detective won’t take no for an answer so Erik puts the boy in a trance.  What happens next won’t just threaten everything Erik has managed to rebuild.  It will tear families apart, turn friends into bitter enemies and rob Erik of Benjamin – his only son.  Gritty, fast-paced and hard to put down.

Story is exciting and intriuging:kidnapping,infidelity,psycologically compromised characters, savvy police detective,victimized doctor. Characters are believable and real. I hope there will be more to come.
