What to expect
How do you catch a serial killer when the bodies are never found?
For years, Detective Cecilia Wreede has hunted The Badger: a killer who drags victims from their homes and vanishes without a trace.
Annika Granlund, a struggling publisher, has troubles of her own: a failing business, a marriage on the rocks, and the haunting memory of a childhood monster she once called The Scraper. Then an anonymous manuscript lands on her desk, describing The Badger's killings in chilling detail.
To save her company, Annika must publish it. To catch a killer, Cecilia must uncover the connection. But as the lines between fiction and reality blur, and Annika's grip on her own sanity begins to unravel, both women are drawn into a nightmare neither of them may escape.
Perfect for fans of Chris Carter and C.J. Tudor, The Badger is a dark and menacing psychological thriller that will have you reading late into the night.
