TWO COUNTRIES IN THE GRIP OF WINTER. On the coldest day of the year, Sweden's Minister for Justice steps out of Parliament House and into a blizzard – and disappears. That same night, across the Baltic Sea, a Danish celebrity finds a stranger lurking in her snow-bound home. TWO KILLERS STALK THE STREETS. One is a surgeon who carefully dissects his victims. The other is a brutal predator who targets women. Police in Stockholm and Copenhagen are closing in on their suspects. But as winter darkens and more people die, their investigations begin to unravel. SOMETIMES MURDER IS JUST THE BEGINNING... What people are saying about THE NINTH GRAVE: 'An amazing book with a unique plot. The author is a master storymaker' 'This is a complex and intricately plotted story. An engrossing read' 'I enjoyed this book as much or even more so than his previous novel'
