X Ways to Die

A murderous game. The killer makes the rules. Death hangs on the roll of the dice. In murder investigations, it pays to keep things simple: motive, method, opportunity. But the case in front of Detective Fabian Risk is a nightmare. A killer who strikes out of nowhere. No apparent motive. No consistent method. Victims are tortured, strangled, burned, dismembered - each grisly killing carried out with savage precision, as if following the rules of a hellish game. Fear and chaos have spread through the seaside town of Helsingborg. While Fabian Risk hunts the killer, his life is falling apart: a son on the run from the law; a daughter gravely injured; a colleague with dark secrets of his own. But there´s no turning back now. The game of death is on, and Fabian Risk must play to win. AFTER ALL, THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO DIE... This explosive thriller from Scandinavia´s most inventive storyteller concludes the epic events of Motive X.
