The preacher

Thorkild Christensen stares down at his murdered wife, Karen, and realises he knows almost nothing about her. How did she fill her days? Where did she really go every Thursday? Detective Thea Krogh is determined to find out as she immerses herself in town life. Yet Karen's secrets elude her at every turn. And then a second woman is shot dead. There appears to be nothing to link the two dead women. But there is something, they just can't see it. Someone who knows all the pieces. Someone who is carefully knocking each piece into place, one by one. Someone who holds them all in the palm of his hand ... An ingenious, utterly gripping, debut thriller - its stunning twist and astonishing characters will stay with you long past the tense final pages.
