"A Sunday Times Crime Club Star Pick. From the million-copy author of the Scandinavian sensation Victim Without a Face.
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? 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.
“Atmospheric and complicated [...] with great cop characters and some imaginatively grisly perps.” SUNDAY TIMES (STAR PICK)"
