The standard of the Scandinavian thriller! “Paganini’s Contract” is a continuation of the detective series, which began with the “Hypnotist”.
And in the new thriller, a terrible tangle of crimes is unraveled by the already familiar Commissioner Jonah Lynn, a talented detective with the appearance of a movie hero and a penchant for melancholy. Time magazine named The Hypnotist one of the ten most important books of 2010, and the film, based on the novel by director Lasse Hallström, has been nominated for an Academy Award by the Swedish Film Academy.
On a summer night on board a deserted yacht, drifting in the skerries of Stockholm, a drowned woman is found in dry clothes. The next day, a man dies in the wealthy district of Östermalm. How did he manage to hang himself on a lamp hook in a completely empty room with high ceilings, where there is nothing to climb? A chain of gloomy events is rapidly unfolding. In a strange way, they are connected with the violin that belonged to the great Paganini, and the destructive contract, overshadowed by his name. And in vain are two lovers trying to find salvation on deceptively friendly islets among the fjords — an impassive killer methodically follows their trail.
