I am the tiger
Ajvide Lindqvist, John, 1968-2021
Book
In the autumn of 2016 a wave of suicides swept through Stockholm's underworld... Investigative journalist Tommy T's star has faded since he was a fixture on Sweden's talk-show circuit. His deep dive into the mysterious suicides - and the role of the elusive 'X' who seems to be behind everything - will be his ticket back to the top. And the trail is hot: it leads him first to a murdered friend and then to a huge batch of cocaine. Meanwhile, Tommy's seventeen-year-old nephew Linus is getting in deep himself. He's been selling his ADHD medication since he was thirteen, hoping for bigger opportunities. Now there's one staring him in the face-in the form of a huge batch of cocaine. But there's a larger plan behind what is happening, and the business turns out to be both stranger and more dangerous than either of them could have imagined. I Am the Tiger is the culmination of the series that began with I Am Behind You and I Always Find You. John Ajvide Lindqvist spins the crime novel into the realm of the supernatural, as forces beyond human control infiltrate the suburbs of Stockholm.
