But that’s the way it goes with Lars Kepler, a pseudonym for the husband and wife team of Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril and Alexander Ahndoril, who have a taste for the macabre and a surefire recipe for the lurid serial-killer thriller. STALKER (Knopf, $27.95) opens with a gruesome crime scene (“a display of extraordinary brutality,” in Neil Smith’s blunt translation from the Swedish) and becomes more explicit as it creeps along to its conclusion (“suddenly his head rolls over”). Having fun? Feelin’ groovy? A new novel by Lars Kepler will wipe that smile off your face. ![]()
