THE INSPIRATION FOR THE HIT BBC FOUR SHOW WISTING
'Up there with the best of the Nordic crime writers' The Times
Five years ago, serial killer Tom Kerr was imprisoned. Today, he's out to reveal the resting place of his final victim. However, Detective Wisting is taking no chances. Kerr is chained and handcuffed. The police have dogs and guns.
But minutes after entering the forest, Wisting's officers lie broken and bleeding. And Kerr has vanished into the woods.
Too late, Wisting realizes their error. They forgot Kerr's suspected, but never found accomplice . . .
Now two murderers are on the loose - and Wisting has just hours to find them . . .
