Alex

Alex is smarter than her executioner. Alex doesn't forgive anything, he doesn't forget anything or anyone. It all started with the kidnapping of a woman. The only witness who saw the abduction can only say that it was a young woman who was thrown into the van. He can't describe the woman or the make of the van because he was too far away. While the search stands still, investigator Camille Verhaven, himself marked by a personal tragedy, did not want to accept the case and the only thing he knows is that he has little time to find her. Because as time passes, the possibility that they will find her alive is getting smaller and smaller. After her abductor kills himself in front of the police, and after they find out where Alex is and what torments she is suffering, the police finally find the place where Alex was hidden... But she is no longer there. Alex, in an inexplicable way, disappeared. Alex, by Pierre Lemaitre, is the second novel in his trilogy, but the first to appear on our market. After the publication of the book, the author was declared the new Stieg Larsson, and Alex was compared to Larsson's Lisbeth Salander.
