But the moral is pretty obvious: Don't judge a book by its cover.
I like the fact that publisher put the word THRILLER on the cover.
Just in case you were wondering.

The fact they call it a "Thriller" is just a marketing gimmick IMO. The publisher "Bastei Lübbe" doesn't have a great reputation here because they don't care that much about the quality of books. You can find most of their books in railroad station bookstores.

The theory is that they maybe thought that a lot of well known Thriller authors come from Sweden. Like this Stieg Larsson guy? So why not putting the word "Thriller" on the book. It's almost the same as a Horror story right? So costumers will have to think: Sweden + Thriller = awesome! Genius!

Anyways there is an alternative paperback cover available:

And this very rare hardback cover that isn't sold anymore, I got mine through amazon somehow:
