When the body of a young girl is found hanging from a tree, the only clue the police have is an airline tag around her neck. It reads 'I'm travelling alone'.

In response, police investigator Holger Munch is immediately charged with assembling a special homicide unit. But to complete the team, he must track down his former partner, Mia Krüger - a brilliant but troubled detective - who has retreated to a solitary island with plans to kill herself.

Reviewing the file, Mia finds something new - a thin line carved into the dead girl's fingernail: the number 1. She knows that this is only the beginning. To save other children from the same fate, she must find a way to cast aside her own demons and stop this murderer from becoming a serial killer.

The new novel from Samuel Bjork, THE WOLF, is available now.

Ratings and reviews

Rather disappointed . The story was over long and drawn out but then the ending was rushed It all seemed as if the author was running out of paper and had to finish. Won't be buying his next novel

I love a good Scandie crime story and this did not disappoint. I had already read 'The boy in the Headlights' and even though I had the chronological order wrong, it didn't spoil anything because the novels are great individually. Great, credible characters in a tangled plot, but not so complicated that you lose track. I'd definitely read more by this author.

Took a little while to get my teeth into this book but I'm glad I stuck at it. Truly a gripping thriller with lots of twists! Definitely would recommend
