Three years ago, Saga Bauer received a postcard with a threatening text about a gun with nine white bullets - one of which is waiting for Detective Joona Linna. But time passed and the threat faded.

Until now.

A sack with a decomposed body is found tied to a tree in the forest. A milky white bullet casing is found at the murder scene. And soon the police are sent complicated riddles from the killer - a chance to stop further murders.

Joona Linna and Saga Bauer must fight side by side to solve the puzzle and save each victim before it's too late. But the violent hunt becomes increasingly desperate.

Great gritty storyline and characters but the narration is awful… having read the series from the start in Swedish (it’s original language) I’m sure the translation is good but the pronunciation of places and names are simply awful. Make it hard for me to listen to, such a shame as story is superb.

Great story

Intriguing from the beginning to the end. Never a disappointment. If you like last Kepler, you’ll love Jonesco. The Scandit crime thrillers are among the best. Cannot wait for the next story.

Brilliant
