When the past claws its way back, the hunt for truth could cost him everything.

Five years after the brutal murder of his girlfriend Eva, haunted PI Ravn is dragged back into the one case he’s never been able to close. New evidence surfaces, igniting a desperate chase for justice that plunges him into a dark web of crooked cops, a dying hitman, and a powerful elite guarding a deadly secret.

To get the answers he craves, Ravn must strike a dangerous bargain with ruthless crime boss Kaminsky: recover 71 million in stolen cash, or lose everything. From Copenhagen’s gritty underworld to the corridors of corrupt power, Ravn will risk it all to unmask Eva’s killer—if the truth doesn’t destroy him first.

´The Pact´ is the electrifying fifth novel in the bestselling Ravn series—perfect for fans of "Department Q" and Nordic noir that cuts to the bone.
