Brought to you by Penguin.

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

Critic reviews

Excellent . . . A shrewd mix of police procedural, political thriller and domestic drama
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
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
