The literary debut of a married couple writing under the pseudonym “Lars Kepler” made an astonishing impression on readers, critics, and publishers. It was the first Swedish novel—sold abroad with enormous success even before it was published in Sweden.

“The Hypnotist” is only the beginning of a gripping detective series. In the Stockholm suburb, in the locker room of a sports club, they find a man brutally murdered. Later, in his home, they discover his wife and small daughter—also slaughtered with monstrous cruelty. It seems the killer set out to wipe out the entire family—but the badly wounded son survived. The commissioner of the criminal police, Jona Linna, learns that one more member of the family is alive—the older sister of the boy. He understands: the girl must be found before the killer does. To quickly interrogate the only witness, Jona Linna contacts a doctor, Erik Maria Bark, and persuades him to hypnotize the boy. Only this way can they get a description of the criminal. Erik breaks his long-standing promise to stop practicing hypnosis. And the chain of incredible events begins to unravel relentlessly…
