About this book

Book Summary

Ten little rabbits, all dressed in white
Tried to get to heaven on the end of a kite.
Kite string got broken, down they all fell,
Instead of going to heaven, they all went to...

It begins with a nursery rhyme. Nineteen minutes later you die.

A masked stranger stands in the shadows. He watches his victim through the window. He will kill him slowly—make him pay.

Soon the Rabbit Hunter has claimed another three victims. This predator will stop at nothing to reap his ultimate revenge. It's up to Joona Linna and Saga Bauer to untangle one of the most complex cases of their career, and follow the killer's trail of destruction back to one horrific night of violence.

"Kepler (the pen name for a husband-and-wife writing team) manage a clever and intriguing variant on the serial killer theme in their outstanding sixth novel featuring Stockholm Det. Insp. Joona Linna...Kepler has never been better at hiding key clues in plain sight" - Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Fast-paced and fluent, with all the authors' trademark stratagems. Sure to be a hit, though best read by those with strong stomachs." - Kirkus Reviews

"[The Rabbit Hunter] holds strong appeal for American thriller fans, especially those of Lee Child's Jack Reacher series." - Booklist
