 This is one of those unique, fantastic stories. Recently Albert Bonniers Publishing and Bonnier Group Agency unexpectedly received the manuscript of The Hypnotist, written by an author using the pseudonym Lars Kepler.
The Hypnotist was immediately read by an unusually large circle of editors and colleagues from different departments (marketing, reprint, audio etc.). The manuscript has taken the publishers by storm.
Despite the fact that the autumn list is already fixed, the decision has been made to publish The Hypnotist at the beginning of October 2009.
It gives us enormous pleasure to be able to introduce this exceptional literary and psychological crime novel – the first in a series, which will comprise several titles.The eccentric Finnish-Swedish detective inspector Joona Linna is the linking character, and he will appear in all the books; each volume will contain unique life stories and unusual crimes / cases.The Hypnotist has recently been sent on multiple submission to a large number of countries and publishers resulting already in a very strong interest from USA, a number of bids from Germany, Denmark, an offer from Holland & France and more bids are anticipated during London Book Fair.The Swedish manuscript and a sample in English is available.
