Bargain @ $2.99 for Canada only, as far as I can tell (the UK has the same edition but is not on sale, and this doesn't seem to be out in the US/author is signed up with a different publisher for this series?), from HarperCollins, available in multiple stores (not couponable) @ Kobo (this is their current Deal of the Day), Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, etc.

The Lost Boy by Swedish author Camilla Läckberg (SYKM, Wikipedia), the recently published 7th in her Hedström & Falck series of crime novels pairing a detective and a writer in the small fishing town of Fjällbacka, which apparently also happens to be the author's own hometown, according to her Wikipedia entry.

The rest of the novels in the series are priced at $11.99 each and the money-saving omnibus editions only go from #1-3 and #4-6 thus far, so this seems to be a really good deal, if you're interested in Nordic fiction.

(ETA: Omnibus #1-3 seems to be at a relatively good discount-ish price of $15.99 CAD right now in multiple venues, sample linkage @ Kobo for Camilla Lackberg Crime Thrillers 1-3: The Ice Princess, The Preacher, The Stonecutter, which works out to ~$5.33 per book before taxes, in comparison to the $12 CAD HC charges for the individuals, and the $27 price point for Omnibus #4-6)

No. 1 international bestseller and Swedish crime sensation Camilla Lackberg’s new psychological thriller – irresistible for fans of Stieg Larsson and Jo Nesbo.

Mats Sverin was Fjallbacka’s financial director on a regeneration project worth millions. When he is found murdered, Detective Patrik Hedstrom must find answers. It seems Mats was a man who everybody liked yet nobody really knew – a man with something to hide… Is it just a coincidence that his high school sweetheart, Nathalie, has returned to the area? What does she know about who Mats really was?

However, Nathalie has her own secret. Something has made her and her five-year-old son flee to their remote family home on the ‘Ghost Isle’. And that is where she’ll stay and shield her son from the evils of the world. But, as the murder investigation draws a blank, the police have to dig deeper – and before long, everyone’s lives will be dragged into the light …
