OFFERDJURET – THE SACRIFICE

By Henrik Fexeus

Psychological suspense from award-winning mentalist.

WHEN DAVID RECEIVED an email from an unknown woman claiming to have information about his childhood, he doesn’t know how to react. Ideally, he wants to ignore the message and instead sort out his feelings for the beautiful star lawyer Florence. However, David has no memories of the first 12 years of his life, so curiosity wins out and he answers the email.

BUT THE WOMAN who contacted him suddenly disappears without a trace and David becomes the prime suspect. Meanwhile, someone seems to be targeting him and everyone he cares about. With Florence’s help, he must now find out who is behind everything and how it is connected to his own missing memories. In the shadows lies a decades-old secret and players who have everything to gain from the truth not being revealed.

THE SACRIFICE IS the first installment in the Memento series. In this intense psychological suspense novel, a mystery unravels in two timelines where the truth is both bigger and more devastating than you might think.

It’s a good, well-written suspense novel that lasts all the way. […] Perfect  to read in a single sitting in a deck chair.

The characters, relationships, locations and dark secrets weave through the story and connect in the most unexpected ways. I love it!

Henrik Fexeus has written a really well-composed and exciting book. As a reader, you are on pins and needles, eager to know more. When the truth is finally revealed, you are left open-mouthed and in awe of Fexeus’ impressive imagination. The story is original and leaves a strong impression, especially as it does not follow predictable patterns but offers something new and fresh. 5 out of 5.
