Description
#1 INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER • A serial killer is spinning a sinister web and Detectives Joona Linna and Saga Bauer are caught dead center.
This pulse-pounding descent into the chilling world of The Spider is another shocking thriller in the Killer Instinct series.

Three years ago, Detective Saga Bauer received an ominous postcard describing a gun and nine white bullets—one of which was intended for her partner, Detective Joona Linna. The sender alleged that Saga was the only person who could save him. But as time passed, the threat faded.
Until now.
A sack with a decomposing body has been found hanging from a tree in the forest. A milky white bullet casing turns up at the scene. When the body count begins to rise, the police realize that the killer is sending riddles, offering them the chance to stop the murders before they happen. But the police always seem to arrive a moment too late. As they begin to close in, the case becomes more and more tangled: someone is spinning a fiendishly intricate web, pulling Joona ever closer to a trap he may not be able to escape. The Spider is shocking and exhilarating in a way only Lars Kepler could accomplish.

        May 15, 2023
        Kepler (the pen name of the married writing team Alexander and Alexandra Ahndoril) ups the ante in this pulse-pounding ninth Killer Instinct thriller featuring detective Joona Linna. The last entry, 2022’s The Mirror Man, ended with a shocker, suggesting that Jurek Walter, who’d “killed more people than any other murderer in Northern Europe,” was still alive. Linna is sure he killed Walter, until another detective in Sweden’s National Crime Unit receives an ominous postcard signed with an anagram of Walter’s name and a death threat aimed at Linna and his confidants. Three years later, the blood starts to spill: when the head of Linna’s unit is attacked outside Stockholm, her assailant shoots her in the spine, paralyzing her, before subjecting her to further torments. Similar deaths follow, and the killer taunts the authorities by mailing them clues about his next move. Kepler manages to make each murder resonate, giving the deaths uncommon weight in the lives of Linna and his fellow detectives, who grow increasingly distraught at their failure to prevent the killings. That veracity, combined with regular passages of almost unbearable tension, make this another standout in a strong series. Agent: Niclas Salomonsson, Salomonsson Agency.
