“Instantly engaging. When a cold war sleeper spy is activated with a one-word phone call after 40 years--resulting in the execution style murder of her husband--a slow slog of events are suddenly thrust into motion. Officer Sara Nowak was a child in the seventies, and a friend to the daughters of Sweden's most beloved tv personality. Who was just found murdered in his home. She begins following an unlikely trail that proves just as deadly as it was at its inception, despite the evolution of technology. Corbett's pronunciation is immersive and her precise cadence lend urgency to the telling. A+ mystery.”

Summary
For a seemingly perfect family, a single word will change everything in this edge‑of‑your‑seat thriller for fans of The Silent Patient and The Whisper Man.
It's early summer in Stockholm. Agneta and Stellan Broman have just waved off their daughters and grandchildren when the landline phone rings. The caller says just one word: "Geiger." Agneta hangs up, finds her old pistol, kills her husband of fifty years and then disappears from their home without a trace.
Sara Nowak, a police officer in the prostitution unit, is called by a colleague who is investigating the murder. Stellan was a widely loved former television presenter, and Sara grew up next door to the Bromans, spending much of her childhood in their grand house. Both the victim's daughters and Sara are devastated by the killing, and going against all regulations, Sara gets involved in the investigation. It is the beginning of a dark journey, leading back to the Cold War and fatal ideologies, and the truth about Sara's own childhood.
Exciting, compelling, and full of twists you'll never see coming, Geiger is Gustaf Skördeman's incredible debut thriller.
