Get ready for the spell of The Hypnotist.

Detective Inspector Joona Linna becomes interested in a grisly triple crime in Tumba, Sweden, and requests to look into the killings. The youngster whose family was murdered in front of his eyes is the sole living witness, and the murderer is still at large. This youngster had almost a hundred knife wounds and had gone into shock, so whomever was behind the crimes wanted him dead. Linna is desperate for answers and believes hypnosis is her last chance. With the intention of using the boy's perception to identify the murderer, he recruits Dr. Erik Maria Bark to hypnotize him.

Bark has vowed never to engage in this kind of activity again as it is morally questionable and psychologically damaging. A lengthy and horrifying series of events start when he betrays his word and hypnotizes the victim.

The Hypnotist, a global phenomenon, is scheduled to be released in 37 countries and has topped bestseller charts in France, Holland, Germany, Spain, Italy, and Denmark, among other places. It's America's turn now. This suspenseful thriller is gripping from the first page on, combining the narrative prowess of The Silence of the Lambs with the addictive force of the Stieg Larsson trilogy.
