When a high profile politician is killed in odd circumstances the first thought is that this is a terrorist plot. Disgraced Detective Joona Lina is released from prison to contact the suspected terrorist's family but is proves a bloody dead end. Meanwhile celebrity chef Rex is trying to stay on the wagon and build a relationship with his son but the politician's death brings back horrible memories of his time at school. How is this linked to a killer who is obsessed with rabbits and one nursery rhyme in particular.
Lars Kepler is a rather idiosyncratic writer of thrillers. His books always follow a pattern of blind alleys after a shocking start and just when the reader thinks the book is going nowhere, the pace is ramped up and the action becomes almost unbearable. This book was no different and just as fabulous.
