Description

The price of fame . . . is DEATH

When Jenny is spotted by a high-profile modelling agency, she goes from ordinary schoolgirl to celebrity overnight. Suddenly her life is a whirlwind of parties and glamour.

Agnes used to be a model too – but now she lies in a hospital bed, slowly being destroyed by an eating disorder. Her father sits by her day after day, praying that his only remaining daughter survives.

An attempted murder during a lavish photoshoot means that Jenny’s and Agnes’s lives will soon intersect in the most terrifying of ways . . . Because someone is watching them. Someone with a plan.

Can Detective Anders Knutas figure out who it is in time to stop a terrible justice being served?

Advance Praise

There is an icy dispassionate grip to Jungstedt's writing that recalls Henning Mankell - Metro

She is in total control of plot and pace, conveys chilling atmosphere and her characters are well above average for believability - The Times

Jungstedt delivers excellent clammy atmosphere and a constant premonition of weird deaths to come. She's becoming one of Scandinavia's best crime writers, no mean compliment in a crowded field - The Times

Marketing Plan

The latest thriller from 'one of Scandinavia’s best crime writers' (The Times). For fans of Henning Mankell and Jo Nesbo.

Mari Jungstedt is one of the most successful crime fiction authors in Sweden, and has sold over 3 million copies of her books worldwide.

Mari lives in Stockholm with her husband and two children.
