The Mirror Man: A novel
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
"Dark, disturbing, and chillingly relentless. Picture Hannibal Lecter sitting down to channel Stieg Larsson and then dial it way, way up!" —Brad Thor, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Black Ice
Sixteen-year-old Jenny Lind is kidnapped in broad daylight on her way home from school and thrown into the back of a truck. She’s taken to a dilapidated house, where she and other girls face horrors far beyond their worst nightmares. Though they’re desperate to escape, their captor foils everyone of their attempts.
Five years later, Jenny’s body is found hanging in a playground, strung up with a winch on a rainy night. As the police are scrambling to find a lead in the scant evidence, Detective Joona Linna recognizes an eerie connection between Jenny’s murder and a death declared a suicide years before. And when another teenage girl goes missing, it becomes clear to Joona that they’re dealing with a serial killer—and his murderous rampage may have just begun.

November 1, 2021
Swedish detective Joona Linna is back to investigate the abductions, killings, and dismembering of teenage girls by a serial killer called Caesar. Five years after her much-publicized abduction at age 16, Jenny Lind is found gruesomely hung to death on a public playground. Martin, a mentally frail local man, may have witnessed the crime while walking his dog, but personal traumas have left him too shaky to remember anything. Also five years ago, during an ice-fishing outing with his 16-year-old daughter, Alice, Martin survived a fall through the ice but Alice was never found. He also lost his entire family in a car accident when he was a boy and has been tormented by punishing visions of his dead brothers ever since. With Martin in and out of a psychiatric facility, his wife, Pamela, decides to adopt Mia, a troubled 17-year-old. Soon enough, Mia will be abducted by Caesar and his tattooed henchwoman, Granny, who likes to jab her girls with a knockout drug--and saw the feet off of those who try to escape. Psychiatrist Erik Maria Bark, a regular in Kepler's Killer Instinct series (of which this is the eighth installment, following Lazarus, 2018), has some tantalizing results hypnotizing Martin to get him to remember what he saw at the playground. Though the early sections of this longish thriller are tantalizing--toying with the reader with a major red herring--the book jumps the tracks with a burst of forced twists and turns and an ultraviolent, head-shaking climax. A page-turner until it isn't, Kepler's latest becomes a case of too much too late.COPYRIGHT(2021) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Starred review from November 8, 2021
In Kepler’s stellar eighth Killer Instinct novel (after 2020’s Lazarus), Joona Linna, a detective with Sweden’s National Operations Unit, looks into the case of a woman found hanged in a Stockholm playground. Her killer attached a winch to a jungle gym before slipping a wire noose around her neck. The discovery that the victim is Jenny Lind, who vanished five years earlier when she was a 16-year-old, adds additional mysteries—her whereabouts since her disappearance and why her captor decided to kill her now. Unfortunately, the one witness who may have seen the murder while walking his dog in the middle of the night suffers from memory lapses following an ice-fishing accident in which his daughter died years earlier. Linna comes to believe Lind was murdered by a serial killer, who may have more women in captivity. The ability of Kepler (the pen name of Alexander and Alexandra Ahndoril) to ratchet up the tension en route to a stunning reveal and an eminently fair solution is remarkable. This merits comparisons with the best of Thomas Harris. Agent: Niclas Salomonsson, Salomonsson Agency (Sweden).

Five years after teenager Jenny Lind was abducted, she's found hanging in a Stockholm park, and renowned detective Joona Linna's instincts tell him police are facing a serial offender. But Joona's new boss fears the repercussions that might come from Joona's unconventional investigative methods and bars him from the case until the premature arrest of a mentally-ill witness draws negative attention. Until recently, the witness, Martin Nordstr�m, had received treatment for PTSD at a psychiatric facility. Camera footage places Martin in the park during the early morning murder, but PTSD blocks his memory. Under hypnosis, Martin reveals that he overheard another psychiatric patient discussing Jenny's murder with a nefarious entity known only as Caesar. Joona, back on the case, dives into Stockholm's biker underground and examines a hidden psychiatric study, finally revealing Caesar's twisted religious compound. A bar-raising entry in a series that unfailingly blends streamlined plotting, smart psychological suspense, and explosive conclusions with gritty portrayals of human evil. Recommend this one to fans of Chelsea Cain, Nikki French, and Jeffery Deaver.COPYRIGHT(2021) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
