The Hypnotist is a 2011 novel by the Swedish writing team of Alexander Ahndoril and Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril, a husband-wife team who wrote the book under the name Lars Kepler.[1]
A family is brutally murdered. The only witness to the crime is a badly-injured teenage boy, the family's son. After he recovers, investigators are unable to pry sufficient information from his memory of the event to solve the case, so they turn to a hypnotist in hopes of finding subconscious-level memories of the incident.
The first English edition (512 pages, hardcover) of The Hypnotist was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 2011. The English translation was performed by Ann Long.[2]
