In 2012, it was adapted into a film. PlotA family is brutally murdered. The only witness to the crime is a badly injured teenage boy, the family's son. After he recovers, investigators are unable to pry sufficient information from his memory of the event to solve the case, so they turn to a hypnotist called Erik Maria Bark, in hopes of finding subconscious-level memories of the incident. But things do not go well, as it suddenly looks like the boy, Josef Ek, had something to do with the crime. Meanwhile, things are shaky at home for the hypnotist. His wife, Simone, still doesn't trust him after he was unfaithful ten years ago, and their son, Benjamin, has a blood disease which forces him to take an injection every morning or risk bleeding to death from a simple scratch. The case doesn't fall onto Joona Linna's office, but onto some random town police officer who doesn't consider it a priority. So Bark investigates himself. First, he thinks it was Josef who kidnapped Benjamin; then, he thinks it was another patient from many years ago; then, they reach the right conclusion: A demented woman thought that Benjamin was the son she had killed ten years ago, unbeknownst to the police. She became obsessed with Bark and his unfinished therapy group. Joona, Bark and Simone finally find Benjamin hidden in a cottage in the middle of the mountains close to a lake, just in time to save him from the madwoman who is going to "discipline" him, probably causing wounds which would have killed him. The woman tries to run away in a school bus, but it ends up on thin ice. Bark will rescue Benjamin from the sinking bus. Publishing historyThe first English edition (512 pages, hardcover) of The Hypnotist was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 2011. The English translation was written by Ann Long.[2] See also
