What you need to know before your trail

A film arrives at Stockholm’s National Crime Investigation Department showing a woman in her own home, plainly unaware she is being watched. The police don’t take it seriously … until she is found murdered.

When the next video arrives, Detective Margot Silverman frantically attempts to identify the victim. But it’s already too late. Because at the time the video was sent, the killer was already inside their house…

Soon Stockholm is in the grip of terror. Who will the Stalker target next?

Travel Guide

Stockholm

A lovely, calm, safe city tot walk around normally and certainly not one to fear living on your own as a woman, Unless you’re in a Lars Kepler novel that is and the fear replaces all that and then some!

The locations are chilling as they are the very normal and nice streets in and around the city which become the crime scenes. Someone is videoing woman in their apartments. Sites such as the Olympic Stadium and the island of Lidingo on the outskirts of the city might get a mention ( or indeed be crime scenes) but you don’t get to see the city in a good light in this novel. A stalker is walking around the city looking for his next victim after all.

The other locations we get to see are the National Criminal Investigation Division of the Stockholm police and the world renowned Karolinksa Institute which treats and researches all kinds of illnesses and diseases.
