Joona Linna #1 : The Hypnotist (P)

In the icy depths of Tumba, Sweden, a horrifying triple homicide sends shockwaves through the community. Detective Inspector Joona Linna insists on taking over the investigation, convinced the killer is still at large. The sole witness—a young boy who endured the slaughter of his family and survived over a hundred knife wounds—is in critical condition, locked in a state of shock.

Determined to track the murderer, Linna turns to the controversial practice of hypnotism, enlisting Dr. Erik Maria Bark to unlock the boy's memories. Despite having vowed never to hypnotize again, Bark agrees, setting off a harrowing chain of events that unravel deeply buried secrets and propel the investigation into darker, more dangerous territory.

An international sensation translated into thirty-seven languages, The Hypnotist combines the intensity of The Silence of the Lambs with the gripping storytelling of Stieg Larsson's Millennium series. It’s an electrifying thriller that grips readers from the very first page, exploring the limits of memory, trust, and the human psyche.
