Summary:
A gruesome triple homicide attracts the interest of Detective Joona Linna of the National Crime Unit, who demands to investigate the murders. There's only one surviving witness - the boy whose family was killed before his eyes. He's suffered more than one hundred knife wounds and lapsed into a catatonic state. Desperate for information, Linna enlists trauma expert Dr. Erik Maria Bark, hoping to hypnotize the boy and uncover the secrets locked in his memory. Scarred by past experience, Bark has sworn never to use hypnosis again. However, Linna won't relent, and when the doctor breaks his promise, he triggers a terrifying chain of events that will put all their lives in jeopardy. A thrilling new translation of the first installment in the number one internationally bestselling Joona Linna series, THE HYPNOTIST shows the lengths to which one determined detective is willing to go in order to solve a horrific crime.
