Chilling'e¦clever, atmospheric and wonderfully imaginative'e(tm) Sunday Mirror What would you do for the woman you love? It's two days before Christmas and Helsinki is battling ruthless climate catastrophe: subway tunnels are flooded; the streets are full of abandoned vehicles and private security firms have undermined the police force. Tapani Lehtinen, a struggling poet, is among the few still willing to live in the city. When Tapani's journalist wife Johanna goes missing, he embarks on a frantic hunt for her. Johanna's disappearance seems to be connected to a story she was researching about a serial killer known as 'The Healer'. Determined to find Johanna, Tapani's search leads him to uncover secrets from her past: secrets that connect her to the very murders she was investigating. 'e~Thrillingly atmospheric'e(tm) Liz Jensen 'Tuomainen's book is set in the near future, but nothing here is less than frighteningly plausible.A crime novel, yes - but it's the surefooted rendition of rain-washed urban decay that will stay in the mind of most readers' Barry Forshaw, Independent.
