It's two days before Christmas and Helsinki is battling ruthless climate catastrophe: subway tunnels are flooded; abandoned vehicles are burning in the streets. People are fleeing to the far north where conditions are still tolerable. Social order is crumbling and private security firms have undermined the police force. Tapani Lehtinen, a struggling poet, is among the few still willing to live in the city.

When Tapani's wife Johanna, a journalist, goes missing, he embarks on a frantic hunt for her. Johanna's disappearance seems to be connected to a story she was researching about a serial killer known as 'The Healer'. Determined to find Johanna, Tapani's search leads him to uncover secrets from her past: secrets that connect her to the very murders she was investigating...

Atmospheric and moving, The Healer is a story of survival, loyalty and determination. Even when the world is coming to an end, love and hope endure.

Thrillingly atmospheric (Liz Jensen)
I implore you to read one more Scandinavian thriller. Antti Tuomainen's The Healer is a mix between Stieg Larsson and an introduction to Cormac McCarthy's The Road (Patrick Neale)

The ability to use all the tricks of crime fiction and all the tools of poetry makes Tuomainen's work unique, and that combination makes the reader fall in love with his style. You cannot but value things around you more after reading The Healer

(Sofi Oksanen, author of Purge)
Breathtakingly tense, with the taste of blood on every page. It is impossible to stop reading until you reach the end...
Tuomainen truly succeeds in conveying the glistening streets and the neon-lit, rain-saturated, decaying urban environment
Tuomainen's sparse and precise style and rapid dialogue place him in the best noir tradition. The intensity of both the plot and narration enhances the harsh realism of his language
The Healer is a very original crime novel, quite different from typical Scandinavian crime fiction novels. With enormous efficacy, Antti Tuomainen depicts the extinction of a metropolis
Antti Tuomainen's dystopian climate thriller The Healer was selected Best Finnish Crime Novel of 2011 and is now nominated for The Glass Key. That makes perfect sense. Arctic crime, climate disaster, political murder and love story is combined with a sure hand in the Nordic darkness
A mix between Stieg Larson and an introduction to Cormac McCarthy’s The Road (Patrick Neale)

I was so surprised with the ending. The story was just getting interesting. Rather depressing what with the situation, the grey weather & the whole theme of the book. What there was, was well written. Good prose. Narrator good .

I was just getting into it when “the end”

A pretty weak plot and very mediocre writing compounded by uninspiring narration which might just have lifted it a notch. I listened to Tuomainen’s The Man Who Died recently which led me to expect more entertainment from this novel. I was sadly disappointed. The Healer was full of exposition - I like a book which requires the reader to do some work! No twists and turns, no suspense, no excitement. I didn’t care about any of the characters and how sad is that? I hate giving up on a book unless I really cannot bear to go on. I was glad when I finished this one.

Not for me
