Eighteen Below cover

In Eighteen Below, a chilling investigation unfolds as Detective Fabian Risk uncovers a series of murders linked to a mysterious killer's dark motives.

In Eighteen Below, a police pursuit through the streets of Helsingborg takes a chilling turn when the suspect drives straight into the icy waters of the harbor. This act, initially perceived as a desperate suicide, reveals a far more sinister reality. The investigation uncovers that the driver, a man whose body was submerged, had been deceased for two months prior to the incident, raising immediate suspicions of foul play. The autopsy indicates that he was murdered, and his body had been preserved in a deep freeze.

As the plot unfolds, the story delves deeper into the mind of the killer, who is on a chilling mission to create the perfect death while preserving his victims. Detective Fabian Risk finds himself entangled in a web of intrigue and danger as he races against time to unearth the truth behind the murders. Each discovery leads to more bodies, and the stakes rise as Risk navigates a complex narrative filled with twists and turns.

Eighteen Below is not just a tale of crime; it explores the psychological depths of its characters and their motivations. Stefan Ahnhem's masterful storytelling weaves together a gripping narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats, combining atmospheric tension with a rich tapestry of interwoven plotlines and a diverse cast of characters. This sequel promises to be just as engaging and intense as its predecessor, Victim Without a Face.
