The Rabbit Hunter by Lars Kepler

 

The Swedish Foreign Minister is killed in his home.   The story of the only witness doesn't make sense so the police and national security know that they need the help of one man.  Joona Linna, who had been one of the best police detectives around, is currently in prison as the result of a case that went tragically wrong.  But this case is critical and he is released to work on it.

More murders occur.  As Joona tries to tie the victims together, he realizes that they all knew each other as young men when they all attended the same private boarding school.  Something happened there that is creating revenge thirty years later.  Can Joona and his team discover what it was and save the rest of the victims already slatted for murder?

This is the sixth book in this series.  Lars Kepler is the pen name of a husband and wife team and this series has sold millions internationally.  The tension starts in the first chapter and never stops.  I had to occasionally put the book down and walk around a few minutes before I could go on.  I plan to go back and start at the first book in the series and read all the rest of the currently nine books in this Swedish series that is the best of Nordic Noir.  This book is recommended for mystery readers.
