Description
Mike Zetterberg lives with his wife Ylva and their daughter in a house just outside Helsingborg in Sweden. One evening, Ylva doesn't come home as expected. Mike passes it off as a drink with a work friend, but when she's still missing the next day, he starts to worry. As Mike battles suspicion from the police and his own despair, he is unaware that Ylva is still alive, just a stone's throw from his own home: Ylva has been drawn into a twisted plot of revenge that leads back into her and her abductors' shared past.
Given the sudden and mysterious circumstances of her disappearance, Mike becomes the chief suspect. But what no one knows is that she's being held hostage in the cellar of the house across the street. A secret camera has been set up in her own home so that Ylva can only watch her family on the screen. They cannot see her-and they most certainly cannot hear her scream.
This superbly-told tale of horrific tragedy and brutal revenge now makes its American debut in paperback.

Reviews / Votes
"Blockbuster-ready pacing combines with a psychological manual's clinical tone to make Koppel's thriller, a bestseller in his native Sweden, almost too chilling." -- Publishers Weekly "Swedish suburbia is the setting for this thriller about an abducted young woman who is imprisoned and abused-in a house across the street from hers-by the psychiatrist her husband turns to in his fear and despair." -- Kirkus ReviewsMore details
