Review:

Praise for Lars Kepler "Kepler's ability to inhabit the workings of psychotic psyches is authentically shocking. Larsson is destined to have many heirs....Kepler is by far the best."---"Time" "Methadone for readers suffering from Stieg Larsson withdrawal...Outrageously entertaining."---Laura Miller, "Salon" "Kepler provides a master class in noir. Linna is a marvelous creation, a man filled with compassion and well-earned wisdom, but whose work regularly takes him into the darkest recesses of the heart."---"The Boston Globe" "Kepler's characters are admirably flawed....It's a smooth collaboration...with frequent surprises and grace notes amid the carnage. With any luck, we'll hear more of Lars Kepler."---"The Washington Post" "Gripping...Kepler will have you turning pages long after your bedtime."---David Hiltbrand, "The Philadelphia Inquirer "
