Alone and isolated in a snow-covered Scandinavian forest, a therapist begins to read her client's novel manuscript, only to discover the main character is terrifyingly familiar...You are her therapist. Kristina is a successful therapist in central Oslo. She spends her days helping clients navigate their lives with a cool professionalism that has got her to the top. She is your client. When her client Leah begs her to come to her remote cabin in the woods, Kristina refuses. But then Leah disappears and Kristina feels her control beginning to slip. So why does she know so much about you? Kristina reluctantly heads out into the wilderness to find Leah. Alone and isolated, surrounded by snow and trees, Kristina realizes she has made a huge mistake. Perfect for fans of Alex Pine, Harriet Tyce and Will Dean.What readers are saying about Cabin Fever: 'Dark, intelligent books set in bleak landscapes - who doesn't love a Scandi thriller? Especially when it's from the critically acclaimed author of The Boy Next Door... Tense and twisty, this tale explores obsession and mental health' Woman's Own
'This story has all the props of a true Scandi-noir thriller... The descriptions of the forest are particularly powerful and the story spins off successfully in a variety of different directions, coming to a chilling and convincing conclusion' Daily Mail
'Cabin Fever is an utterly compelling psychological thriller - terrifying and well-crafted, with a super-tense finale up there with Stephen King's Misery. Enjoyed the meta touches too. Dahl is undoubtedly one of Nordic noir's brightest/darkest stars. Loved it' JS Monroe
'Dark and unsettling' Crime Monthly

Praise for this book

Praise for The Boy at the Door:

"Dahl savagely delineates the price of living in a society that insists women must try to be perfect wives and mothers and have successful careers, too, or they'll be inevitably made to feel they're never good enough.″--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"A tangled web, masterfully constructed and certain to satisfy fans of the genre."--Booklist

"Scandi Noir at its best...Atmospheric and beautifully written...combines complex and believable characters with a heart-breaking and head-spinning plot.″--Mary Torjussen, author of Gone Without a Trace and The Girl I Used to Be

"The Boy at the Door is a stunning debut! Alex Dahl has crafted an extraordinary plot; intricate and twisted with dark secrets emerging at every turn.″--Alexandra Burt, International Bestselling author of Remember Mia and The Good Daughter

Praise for The Heart Keeper:

"Another tautly constructed web. . . . Crisp and insightful prose drives a first-person narrative, related in turn by Alison and Iselin, that turns slowly sinister as it draws to a haunting conclusion. Recommended for Scandinavian-noir collections and fans appreciative of Picoult-like emotionally compelling fiction."--Booklist
