What to expect
‘It may take you a while to sleep after you finish it’ Daily Express
The most chilling and terrifying serial killer thriller of the year, from international bestseller Lars Kepler.
Sweden’s most notorious serial killer.
Jurek Walter was shot and killed years ago. The police moved on and managed to forget the darkness that had tainted their lives.
Has come back from the dead.
But now someone is leaving a trail of broken bodies across Sweden and the clues all point to Walter. Detective Joona Linna is convinced his worst nightmare is becoming a reality: the man who tore apart his family has returned to finish the job.
He doesn’t just kill you. He buries your loved ones alive.
When Joona’s partner is taken – and locked inside an underground coffin – he finds himself with an impossible choice: leave her to die or walk into the trap set by the only man he ever feared.
‘Wraps you in a cloak of darkness’ Daily Mail
‘A thrilling, terrifying, dark and disturbing read. Loved it’ Patricia Gibney, no.1 bestselling author of the Lottie Parker series
Critics Review
‘Deeply visceral stuff… unputdownable.’ European Literature Network
‘Savage but irresistible’ Metro
‘Characters, even minor ones, are well-developed and credibly flawed with painful pasts’ Evening Standard
“One of the best thrillers of the year! Kepler treats us readers to a nonstop roller coaster of suspense, taking us deep into the hearts and minds of perfectly realized characters. And, oh, what a villain! Lazarus is the definition of a one-sitting read!”
Jeffery Deaver, #1 best-selling author of The Goodbye Man
“Kepler’s characters, particularly Joona Linna, are always drawn sharp and deep, like scalpel cuts. Kepler’s prose unrolls as smoothly as a loop of razor wire. But it’s Kepler’s storytelling that really draws blood. Lazarus is as literate as peak Michael Connelly and as addictive as David Baldacci.”
A. J. Finn, #1 best-selling author of The Woman in the Window
“From the opening line, Kepler sets an ominous tone, cold and heavy with a taught sense of anticipation that will keep readers flying through the pages despite their fear of what might come next. Absolutely terrifying and beautifully written. I'm a fan for life!” Tami Hoag, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Boy
‘A thrilling, terrifying, dark and disturbing read. Loved it.’ Patricia Gibney, no.1 bestselling author of the Lottie Parker series
Praise for Lars Kepler:
‘The story is incredibly dark and the reader will be caught between wanting to turn the page to read on and being too scared to do so’ SUN
‘STALKER is terrifying yet hugely enjoyable to read but be warned, it may take you a while to sleep after you finish it’ DAILY EXPRESS
‘One of the most hair-raising crime novels published this year’ SUNDAY TIMES
