The Chestnut Man

I thrilleren "The Chestnut Man" byder Søren Sveistrup på nervepirrende uhygge i verdensklasse, da to efterforskere må forsøge at fange en koldblodig seriemorder. En morgen i oktober gør politiet en forfærdelig opdagelse i en stille forstad. En ung kvinde er blevet myrdet, og en af hendes hænder er skåret af. Over hende hænger der desuden en lille dukke lavet af kastanjer. Da man undersøger dukken, viser det sig, at den bærer på en myrdet piges fingeraftryk. Det er nu op til politiet at finde ud af, hvordan det nye mord hænger sammen med det gamle, så de kan fange kastanjemanden. Søren Sveistrup er skaberen af den succesrige tv-serie Forbrydelsen, og i "The Chestnut Man" formår han endnu engang at skabe en fortælling fyldt med spænding og adrenalin.
