Description

The landline rings as Agneta is waving off her grandchildren. Just one word comes out of the receiver: 'Geiger'. For decades, Agneta has always known that this moment would come, but she is shaken. She knows what it means.

Retrieving her weapon from its hiding place, she attaches the silencer and creeps up behind her husband before pressing the barrel to his temple.

Then she squeezes the trigger and disappears - leaving behind her wallet and keys.

The extraordinary murder is not Sara Nowak's case. But she was once close to those affected and, defying regulations, she joins the investigation. What Sara doesn't know is that the mysterious codeword is just the first piece in the puzzle of an intricate and devastating plot fifty years in the making.

Reviews

A fast-paced thriller . . . An impressive debut * FINANCIAL TIMES *
An astonishing, assured and terrifying debut. Many books have pretensions to be the next Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but Geiger actually delivers - reaching that level and beyond. Remarkable. * DAVID YOUNG, award-winning author of STASI CHILD *
Exciting, extremely clever, incredible. An instant classic * TOM MARCUS, bestselling author of SOLDIER SPY *
The very definition of a thriller. Plotting as good as Lee Child, pacing as good as Harlan Coben but with a completely original voice. Absolutely brilliant * HELEN FIELDS, author of PERFECT REMAINS *
If a fiendishly twisting tale floats your spy thriller boat, then the electrifying Geiger is guaranteed to spark a reading frenzy as Skrdeman slowly and intriguingly reveals some hidden and disturbing truths, and ramps up the tension to breaking point * LANCASHIRE POST *
Expect a blockbuster movie * SAGA MAGAZINE *
