The individual stories read: FAUST: Martin Zahalka CLOWN AND MIRROR: Marie Štípková HANG: Zdeněk Hruška LABYRINT: Pavel Rimsky NAVY: Diana Tonikova DÉMON EXPO: Jaromír Meduna "Sometimes Lars Kepler simply writes stories in which Joona Linna and Saga Bauer do not appear - and so far we have kept these stories carefully in a drawer. Many of them are among the best and darkest we have ever written. Now we've finally brought six of our absolute favorites to light and are releasing them in the Sailor collection. Everyone will recognise the tension, intense emotions and brisk pace that are typical of our thrillers. We consider The Sailor a little treasure and we are glad that our readers now have a chance to get to know him. " - Lars Kepler on writing The Sailor "Since Linn's first novel, The Hypnotist, which was published in Czech in 2010, Kepler has been addictive. He can so ingeniously weave connections, create tension and evoke shivers and awe that it is impossible to resist." - Aktuálně.cz "It is no surprise that Lars Kepler is one of Stieg Larsson's successors. He has an exceptional sense of physical cruelty, and his ability to delve into the mind of a psychopath is truly shocking. Larsson's destiny was to have many followers... Kepler is clearly the best of them." - Tim "It's not easy to craft a story that keeps you in suspense, but Kepler is a master at it. As a reader, you never know who you can trust. Or around which corner an axe murderer lurks. You' re on edge the whole time because you know something is going to happen. You just don't know when." - Bookseller magazine
