Synopsis

TWO COUNTRIES IN THE GRIP OF WINTER.
On the coldest day of the year, Sweden’s Minister for Justice steps out of Parliament House and into a blizzard – and disappears. That same night, across the Baltic Sea, a Danish celebrity finds a stranger lurking in her snow-bound home.

TWO KILLERS STALK THE STREETS.
One is a surgeon who carefully dissects his victims. The other is a brutal predator who targets 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...

About this title

Review:

'More gripping than Jo Nesbo, blacker than Stieg Larsson and more bleakly human than Henning Mankell' Tony Parsons.

'Atmospheric and complicated ... with great cop characters and some imaginatively grisly perps' Star Pick - The Sunday Times.

'Swedish crime writer of the year. Bliss' 'Books to Look For' - Irish Times.

'Grips like a vice' Irish Independent.

'Ahnhem's story is as bleak as the depths of a Nordic winter, as gory as a charnel house, and as far removed from the concept of Scandinavian hygge comfort as can be imagined, but still grips like a vice' Belfast Telegraph.

'A tightly plotted, page-turner of a crimefest, with just enough gore to keep things ticking along ... Scandi crime fans are in for a treat with this one' Connaught Telegraph.

'Masterful plot, grisly murders and chilling suspense' Better Reading.

'A very complex novel ... gripping, graphic and gruesome' Woman's Way.

'A very good read that will chill you to the bone' Canberra Weekly.
