The Witch Hunter

'The Witch Hunter, translated with icy precision by Kristian London, is written in short, sharp, present-tense chapters, a technique which adds to its relentless tension. Flashbacks to earlier episodes in Jessica's life suggest that the strangeness currently unfolding is tied to her personal history. Discovering the how and why of it brings a resolution as bleak as anything Poe might have conjured' * Wall Street Journal * 'If you only read one Nordic noir novel this autumn, make it The Witch Hunter - a chilling female-led thriller that will please fans of Lisbeth Salander and Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy' * Culture Fly * 'Seeck's riveting, multi-layered debut, blending masterful police procedural with a chilling exploration of the occult, kept me up all night, devouring it in one amazing gulp, and checking under the bed' -- Sara Blaedel #1 International Bestselling Author 'One of the best books I have read. Ever.
