The stunning prequel to Victim Without a Face.
TWO COUNTRIES IN THE GRIP OF WINTER.
On the coldest day of the year, Sweden's Minister for Justice steps into a blizzard – and disappears. Who has taken him? That same night, across the Baltic Sea, a Danish celebrity is at her home, locked in and cut off from the snow. Then she hears footsteps in her living room. Who is in her house?
TWO KILLERS STALK THE STREETS.
The police are soon hunting two different murderers. One is a surgeon who carefully dissects his victims. The other is a brutal predator who targets random women. Police in Stockholm and Copenhagen are closing in on their suspects. But as winter darkens and more people die, their investigations begin to unravel.
SOMETIMES MURDER IS JUST THE BEGINNING...
REVIEWS FOR STEFAN AHNHEM:

'More gripping than Jo Nesbo, blacker than Stieg Larsson and more bleakly human than Henning Mankell' Tony Parsons.
'Epic in scale and ambition' Daily Mail.
'An intense journey, with an intricate plot... Ahnhem has mastered atmosphere, pacing and intrigue' Crime Review.
'Masterly plotting, grisly murders and chilling suspense: Stefan Ahnhem keeps the threads of this complex, two-country narrative pulled tense' Better Reading.

      Starred review from October 23, 2017
      The prologue of Ahnhem’s scathing second Fabian Risk novel (after 2016’s Victim Without a Face) recounts how a letter written by a dying Palestinian held prisoner in Israel in 1999 got mailed to a woman in Sweden. Flash forward to 2009, when the Swedish minister of justice disappears one day outside the parliament building in Stockholm. Risk’s boss orders the sympathetically drawn policeman, who’s plagued by conflicts between his job and his marriage, to undertake a secret search for the missing minister. Meanwhile, in Copenhagen, Dunja Hougaard, an edgy Danish homicide detective, probes the vicious murder of the wife of a popular TV star. Excerpts from the Palestinian prisoner’s letter point to the horrendous truth behind this and subsequent brutal slayings. In the end, Risk and Hougaard arrive at an interlocking solution to their respective investigations, and Ahnhem exposes the greed and corruption at the highest levels of society and government. Fans of Scandinavian noir won’t want to miss this disturbing thriller.
