First time in paperback. Six people in a bunker, held captive by a nameless kidnapper, whose identity is as unclear as his motive. Sixteen-year-old Linus is the first. Nine-year-old Jenny and four adults follow. Exposed to the whims of the unknown perpetrator, Linus and his fellow captives search for a way to make their forced coexistence bearable in this merciless situation. But when the kidnapper begins to pit them against each other, the situation escalates. One of the most discussed novels of recent years, awarded the Carnegie Medal in 2014.
