X Ways to Die continues the tense, multi-stranded story which begun with Motive X. It is at once an explosive, high-voltage thriller and a fearless exploration of the darkest side of human nature. To enter Stefan Ahnhem's world, with its interwoven plotlines and sprawling cast of characters, is to put yourself in the hands of a master storyteller. Praise for the author: "Atmospheric and complicated ... With great cop characters and some imaginatively grisly perps" SUNDAY TIMES "'More gripping than Jo Nesbo, blacker than Stieg Larsson and more bleakly human than Henning Mankell" TONY PARSONS "Epic in scale and ambition" DAILY MAIL "An intense journey, with an intricate plot ... Ahnhem has mastered atmosphere, pacing and intrigue" CRIME REVIEW "Masterly plotting, grisly murders and chilling suspense: Stefan Ahnhem keeps the threads of this complex, two-country narrative pulled tense" BETTER READING
