The internationally bestselling authors of The Sandman and The Hypnotist return with a terrifying new thriller: Detective Joona Linna--recently returned from compassionate leave--reunites with hypnotist Erik Maria Bark in a search for a seemingly unassailable sadistic killer. The Swedish National Crime Unit receives a video of a young woman in her home, clearly unaware that she's being watched. Soon after the tape is recieved, the woman's body is found horrifically mutilated. With the arrival of the next, similar video, the police understand that the killer is toying with them, warning of a new victim, knowing there's nothing they can do. Detective Margot Silverman is put in charge of the investigation, and soon asks Detective Joona Linna for help. Linna, in turn, recruits Erik Maria Bark, the hypnotist and expert in trauma, with whom Linna's worked before. Bark is leery of forcing people to give up their secrets. But this time, Bark is the one hiding things. Years before, he had put a man away for an eerily similar crime, and now he's beginning to think that an innocent man may be behind bars--and a serial killer still on the loose...

Stalker started out very suspenseful, with some nerve-wracking (and graphic!) scenes featuring the acts of a brutal serial killer. I spent a long time on the edge of my seat, trying to identify the murderer before the revelation.

My biggest complaint is this: the reveal of the killer's identity felt unsubstantiated. The character's behaviour as perpetrator seemed as if it was manufactured, mostly out of thin air, for the sake of a Shocking Plot Twist, and I thought it cheapened the story as a whole. Also, the book suffers because of its length: a 100 pages could've easily been cut without any detriment to the story.

Regardless, I'm looking forward to reading more of this series. The suspense is built up well, even though the climax and reveal did not quite hold up to the quality of the mystery itself. A solid thriller overall!

Read this one out of order - the blurb is not correct - he's not back from compassionate leave, he "died" in the previous book.
Not as amazing as "The Nightmare" but a compelling read
