The epic, sprawling Fabian Risk series concludes with this action-packed thriller from international top ten bestseller Stefan Ahnhem.

He has extorted. He has abused. He has raped. He has sacrificed souls as a means to reach the very top. In every way, he is a despicable man. His name is Kim Sleizner and he works as a police chief in Copenhagen.

Dunja Hougaard has gone underground to covertly investigate her former boss, Sleizner. For months, Dunja and her team have been gathering information. When a high-ranking man within the Danish intelligence service and an unknown woman are found dead at the bottom of a lake outside Copenhagen, the trap is finally set. The only question is: who will it catch?

But just as it seems Dunja’s case is solved, on the other side of the strait in Helsingborg, the Swedish police detective Fabian Risk receives a message that changes everything…
