THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE CHESTNUT MAN IS BACK WITH A BLOCKBUSTER NEW THRILLER, SOON TO BE A MAJOR NETFLIX ADAPTATION

Count to one, count to two…
A strange voice from inside the woods, repeating a child’s counting rhyme.

Count to four, count to five…
A body discovered in the water.

You’re trying to go home. Will you make it alive?
Thirty years later, a woman is haunted by a string of anonymous text messages, repeating that same counting rhyme. Counting down.

Found you.
Detectives Naia Thulin and Mark Hess are charged with finding the missing woman. But when they uncover links to a decades-old cold case, their investigation takes a terrifying turn.
A twisted killer is on the loose. Can they catch them, before they strike again?

'A full-throttle thriller in the tradition of classic Stieg Larsson, drenched in atmosphere and charged with adrenaline. I loved this book' A. J. Finn

Critics Review

This is a terrific book, compelling and beautifully written by a true master of the genre
Peter James
Praise for Søren Sveistrup
:
Creepy, clever and packed with tension
Sun
Excellent . . . A shrewd mix of police procedural, political thriller and domestic drama
New York Times
This might just be the thriller of the year...grips you from the opening page and never lets go, as we're pulled into a haunting whirlwind of secrets, deception and the dark side of the soul. The policing is top-notch, of course, and the characters - good and bad - are so real we're sure we've met them before. Brilliant!
Jeffery Deaver
The Stieg Larsson comparisons seem unfair - on Sveistrup. He is quite simply in another league
Metro
A full-throttle thriller in the tradition of classic Stieg Larsson, drenched in atmosphere and charged with adrenaline. Buckle up. You'll gulp down every word. I loved this book
A.J. Finn
Søren Sveistrup, is clearly a master craftsman
Telegraph
Superbly written and carries you along at breakneck speed. If you liked The Killing, you are going to love this
My Weekly
Chilling psychological drama
