A chilling thriller unfolds as Detective Fabian Risk battles a ruthless killer in X Ways to Die, where chaos and personal turmoil intertwine.
In X Ways to Die, a killer emerges from the shadows, striking without warning. This enigmatic figure operates without a clear motive or consistent method, leaving a trail of gruesome murders in their wake. Each victim suffers a unique and horrifying fate, from torture to dismemberment, executed with chilling precision. The killings appear to follow the twisted rules of a deadly game, instilling fear in the hearts of the townspeople of Helsingborg.
Detective Fabian Risk finds himself ensnared in this nightmare scenario, where traditional investigative methods are rendered ineffective. As he delves deeper into the case, he is confronted with the chaos that has taken over his life: a son fleeing from the law, a daughter in critical condition, and a colleague harboring dark secrets. The stakes rise as Risk realizes that he must navigate not only the complexities of the investigation but also the turmoil within his own family.
As the tension escalates, the detective understands that the killer has set the rules of engagement. The game of death is underway, and failure is not an option. With time running out and danger lurking at every corner, Risk must summon all his strength and cunning to confront the sinister force behind the murders. X Ways to Die is a gripping thriller that weaves intricate plotlines and complex characters into a chilling narrative that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.
'A tense, atmospheric rollercoaster with multiple strands criss-crossing like a complex piece of knitting ... With a plethora of twists and turns and unexpected events and incidents, with a dialogue that sparkles and with well-developed, believable characters the suspense is never ending and, like one of those old black and white cowboy and injun movies, the action is relentless and doesn't disappoint. If one is looking for an intricate, multi-layered, edgy, high calibre read, this book has it in spades. Highly recommended' Promoting Crime Fiction.
