From a real-life psychologist turned bestselling author, a chilling domestic thriller with genuine psychological depth and a twist you definitely won't see coming. What happens when a psychologist begins to question her own sanity? Sara runs a private psychology practice for troubled youth in the large, newly inherited house she is refurbishing with her husband, Sigurd. One morning, a voicemail from Sigurd tells Sara he's arrived at a holiday cabin for a weekend away with the guys. A couple of hours later, Sigurd's friends call from the cabin asking where he is -- according to them, Sigurd never arrived. Sara is irritated by what she thinks is a practical joke. But as the hours stretch out, Sara's anger turns to fear, and the large empty house where every room is half-finished starts to feel less like a home and increasingly threatening. She begins to feel that she is being watched. Random items seem to move or disappear when she isn't looking. And at night Sara wakes to the sound of footsteps in the attic. As the terrible truth of Sigurd's disappearance unfolds, Sara begins to question her reality. Can she, an expert in interpreting other people's emotions and motivations, trust her own thoughts? And where is she safe?

O Olhar Que Me Persegue

Þerapistinn

Una mañana, después de dejarle un mensaje en el contestador, el marido de Sara desaparece sin dejar rastro. Ella creía que Sigurd había quedado con unos amigos, pero ellos tampoco saben dónde está. Para Sara, Sigurd miente; para la policía, la experiencia de Sara como psicóloga la convierte en sospechosa. Pero, cuando los detectives descubren que la vida de Sara está siendo vigilada mediante cámaras y micrófonos ocultos, se dan cuenta de que ni la verdad es tan obvia, ni la mente tan poderosa.

Het huis is leeg zonder haar man. Maar waarom heeft ze het idee dat ze niet alleen is? Sara is psycholoog en werkt in haar praktijk vooral met getroebleerde tieners. In haar vrije tijd klust ze samen met haar man Sigurd aan het grote huis dat ze van zijn opa geërfd hebben. Het is een onmogelijk project dat veel langer duurt dan ze gehoopt hadden. Dan verdwijnt Sigurd plots spoorloos, vlak nadat hij een lief berichtje op Sara's voicemail achterliet. Het grote, half gerenoveerde huis voelt opeens leeg en vijandig. Willekeurige dingen lijken verplaatst te zijn of te verdwijnen, en 's nachts klinken voetstappen op de lege zolder boven Sara's slaapkamer. Wanneer ze hoort dat Sigurd vermoord is, verliest Sara de grip op haar eigen leven. Kan ze haar eigen geheugen en gevoel wel vertrouwen? En is ze nog veilig?

En Kastanjesvingen, un vecindario silencioso a un paso del tumulto de la ciudad habitado por doctores, artistas y gente del mundo de la televisión, nunca pasa nada, es el tipo de lugar que todos querrían para sus hijos. Allí vive Rikke, en uno de los cuatro espaciosos pisos del complejo, con su familia: su marido Asmund y sus hijos Emma y Lukas. Sus vidas son tranquilas, armoniosas, perfectas. Pero todo cambia cuando aparece el cuerpo de uno de los vecinos, Jørgen, apuñalado en su casa. A medida que la policía investiga y la prensa acecha a los vecinos, resulta evidente que todos tenían un motivo para asesinar a Jørgen, hasta la propia Rikke, que pronto se da cuenta de lo poco que sabe realmente sobre la gente que vive a su lado. Quizás no se llevaban tan bien y quizás todos esconden algo, porque... ¿Cuánto saben realmente los unos de los otros? Vuelve la autora de La psicóloga. «Una novela negra perfecta.» Dagbladet

From the mind of a psychologist comes a chilling domestic thriller that gets under your skin. What happens when a psychologist begins to question her own sanity? Sara runs a private psychology practice for troubled youth in the newly inherited house she is refurbishing with her husband, Sigurd. One morning, a voicemail from Sigurd tells Sara he’s arrived at a holiday cabin for a weekend away with the guys. A couple of hours later, Sigurd’s friends call from the cabin asking where he is — according to them, Sigurd never arrived. Sara is irritated by what she thinks is a practical joke. But as the hours stretch out, her anger turns to fear, and the large empty house begins to feel increasingly threatening. To get to the root of Sigurd’s disappearance, Sara must question everything she knows about their relationship. But can she trust her own thoughts? And where is she safe?

How can you hide your affair when your lover's been murdered? From the author of The Therapist, a gripping story of secrets, lies, extramarital affairs and murder. "A wonderful storyteller" Chris Whitaker Is it worse to lie to your husband or the police? Rikke is deceiving them both. When their upstairs neighbour Jørgen is found dead, she's questioned alongside her husband Åsmund. How can Rikke admit in front of Åsmund that Jørgen and she were having an affair? Or explain to the police the complexity of her feelings for Jørgen? The hint of relief that he's dead. And, as the investigation closes in on the neighbourhood, how long can she conceal the affair from her neighbours, her husband and her teenage daughter? Rikke knows she can't hide the phone calls, emails and messages from the police. So she cuts herself a deal. In return for a few days' grace to tell Åsmund before anyone else does, she'll share everything about the affair. But before she can summon the courage to confess, Rikke is struck by a chilling revelation. Jørgen can only have been killed by someone living in their small apartment building.

"A striking debut" Spectator Translated from the Norwegian by Alison McCullough

The Lover

Den unge psykologen Sara driver privatpraksis for ungdom fra et kontor over garasjen i den store, arvede villaen hun er i gang med å pusse opp sammen med sin ambisiøse og overarbeidede arkitektmann, Sigurd. Men det går trått med både jobb og oppussing, og en dag legger Sigurd igjen en underlig beskjed på svareren til Sara for så å bli borte. Det gamle, halvferdige huset føles langt fra trygt.
