Overview
«No hay nadie mejor que Lars Kepler a la hora de escribir thrillers: capítulos cortos, personajes auténticos y acción sin fin».—Washington Post
En un islote del Báltico, al norte de Estocolmo, cerca de un antiguo cementerio de enfermos del cólera, un grupo de excursionistas topa con un macabro hallazgo: una bolsa atada a un árbol y en su interior un cadáver disuelto en productos químicos. La policía no tardará en descubrir que el cuerpo pertenece a una de sus agentes, Margot Silverman.
Otros muertos aparecen en circunstancias parecidas, y una y otra vez son personas relacionadas en el pasado con el inspector Joona Linna. Su antigua compañera Saga Bauer, que trabaja actualmente en una agencia de detectives, desempolva una vieja postal que de algún modo anticipaba el modus operandi del brutal autor de estos asesinatos: habrá nueve balas para nueve víctimas. Y empieza a recibir, además, otro tipo de envíos, incluso más ominosos.
Alguien está planteando a los investigadores una serie de enigmas y les da la oportunidad, si los resuelven rápido, de impedir los crímenes antes de que ocurran. Joona y Saga deberán unirse para encajar las piezas de cada puzle, pero siempre parecen llegar demasiado tarde. ¿Lograrán escapar de la oscura red de amenazas que ha urdido la Araña?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
#1 INTERNATIONAL BEST SELLER • A serial killer is spinning a sinister web and Detectives Joona Linna and Saga Bauer are caught dead center.
This pulse-pounding descent into the chilling world of The Spider is another shocking thriller in the Killer Instinct series.
Three years ago, Detective Saga Bauer received an ominous postcard describing a gun and nine white bullets—one of which was intended for her partner, Detective Joona Linna. The sender alleged that Saga was the only person who could save him. But as time passed, the threat faded.
Until now.
A sack with a decomposing body has been found hanging from a tree in the forest. A milky white bullet casing turns up at the scene. When the body count begins to rise, the police realize that the killer is sending riddles, offering them the chance to stop the murders before they happen. But the police always seem to arrive a moment too late. As they begin to close in, the case becomes more and more tangled: someone is spinning a fiendishly intricate web, pulling Joona ever closer to a trap he may not be able to escape. The Spider is shocking and exhilarating in a way only Lars Kepler could accomplish.
