Book description
Two women are killed in the same horrific, ritualistic manner. The
murderer taunts the police with e-mails. It seems clear that a serial
killer is at work, selecting victims at random and living out some
twisted fantasy.
But, as Jan Fabel and his murder team investigate further, nothing
is as it first seems. They are drawn into a dark half-world of Viking
myth and legend, of obscure religious cults, of political intrigue and
of a violent struggle to seize control of the city.
And as Fabel desperately races to track down the killer before more
killings take place, he and his team come face to face with a cold,
brutal menace they could never have predicted.
A greater evil than they could ever have imagined.
