The Bomber by Liza Marklund


Hardback:  Seven days.  Three killings.  One woman who knows too much.

Journalist Annika Bengtzon is asleep next to her husband when the call comes in at 3.22am on a frozen December night.

It's the weekend, and she still has Christmas shopping to do.

But within minutes, all thoughts of seasonal goodwill are left behind.

Annika is looking at a nightmare scene of police tape and rubble, trying to get the best possible picture for her newspaper.

A bomb has not only destroyed Stockholm's new Olympic arena just months before the Summer Games, it has blown someone to pieces.

Putting a city on edge with fears of a terrorist on the loose, the Bomber will become Annika's biggest story - and maybe her last.
