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

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—which has obsessed readers across Scandinavia and
England for the past year and climbed numerous bestseller
lists—now makes its American debut.
