Lars Kepler Livres

Une jeune fille est assassinée dans la chambre d'isolement d'un centre de réhabilitation psychiatrique. Elle porte les traces de violents coups à la tête. Dans la grange voisine, on découvre le cadavre de l'infirmière de garde cette nuit-là, tuée à coups de marteau. Dépêché sur les lieux, l'inspecteur Joona Linna s'aperçoit rapidement que l'une des pensionnaires, Vicky Bennet, manque à l'appel. Sous son lit on retrouve des draps ensanglantés, et sous l'oreiller un marteau maculé de sang. Peu après, on signale le vol d'une voiture à bord de laquelle se trouvait un enfant de quatre ans. Les descriptions confuses fournies par la mère désemparée correspondent au signalement de Vicky... Mais qui est cette Vicky Bennet ? De quoi est-elle capable ? C'est le début d'une terrible course contre la montre, qui va mettre à mal les intuitions de Joona Linna. Avec Incurables, Lars Kepler continue de sonder le tréfonds du psychisme humain et signe une nouvelle fois un polar effréné aussi imprévisible que son héros.

Renoncer définitivement à l'hypnose, c'est le choix difficile qu'a fait il y a dix ans Erik Maria Bark, psychiatre spécialisé dans cette pratique, après une séance qui a mal tourné. Mais l'inspecteur Linna n'a que faire de ces états d'âme. Il a besoin du savoir-faire du psychiatre dans une affaire délicate : Josef, un adolescent en état de choc après le massacre sanglant de sa famille est le seul à pouvoir éventuellement fournir des indices sur l'assassin, toujours à la poursuite de sa soeur aînée. Tandis qu'il traverse un Stockholm plus sombre et glacial que jamais, Erik sait déjà que, malgré toutes ses protestations, il brisera sa promesse pour tenter de sauver une vie. Ce qu'il ne sait pas, c'est que la vérité que porte Josef va changer sa vie. Que son fils est sur le point d'être enlevé. Et qu'en réalité, c'est pour lui que le compte à rebours vient de commencer.
