Lars Kepler, the undisputed master of the Scandinavian thriller, returns with the book “Mirror Man”, the eighth detective story about investigator Jon Linn.Schoolgirl Jenny Lind is abducted in broad daylight by a man driving an old truck with Polish license plates. Together with other victims, she ends up on a former mink farm, lost in the forest. Wolf traps are set up on the farm, and the “grandmother”, who watches the girls, does not hesitate to take out a saw to prevent them from escaping…Five years later, the body of a kidnapped schoolgirl is found suspended on a playground in the center of Stockholm. Investigator Jonah Linna immediately recognizes the victim: her disappearance has long been in the headlines. While the police are trying to find at least one clue among the meager evidence, Jonah discovers an eerie similarity between the murder of Jenny and a death recognized as suicide several years ago. With the help of surveillance cameras, he even manages to find a potential witness… But he is unable to help the investigation – he suffers from a severe mental disorder and memory lapses. Then Jonah decides to turn to his old friend, hypnotist Eric Maria Bark.
