Paganiniho smlouva – Kepler Lars (2011)

After the enormous success of The Hypnotist, Lars Kepler is back in full force! One summer night, a dead body is found aboard an abandoned ship in the Stockholm archipelago. The woman's lungs are full of saltwater, but there are no traces of her left on her clothing or body. "She drowned," the doctor states. "Drowned?" The doctor nods and smiles: "She drowned right on the deck of a moving ship." "Someone must have seen her in the water and pulled her up." "If it were that simple, I wouldn't waste your time..." The next day, a dead man is found in his apartment. He is hanging from a noose tied to a hook in the ceiling, where a chandelier usually hangs. How did this happen? The ceiling is high, and there isn't a single piece of furniture in the room that the man could have climbed on. But Detective Joona Linna is equally convinced that it was a suicide. Of course, he is right. The man committed a mysterious suicide, but that is just a prelude to a dizzyingly fast and dangerous series of events. Let me tell you something: there are agreements that even death cannot annul... The continuation of The Hypnotist is as successful as the first part of the series. The rights to the book have been sold in forty countries.
