"When the past claws its way back, the hunt for truth could cost him everything.
Five years after the brutal murder of his girlfriend Eva, haunted PI Ravn is dragged back into the one case he’s never been able to close. New evidence surfaces, igniting a desperate chase for justice that plunges him into a dark web of crooked cops, a dying hitman, and a powerful elite guarding a deadly secret.
To get the answers he craves, Ravn must strike a dangerous bargain with ruthless crime boss Kaminsky: recover 71 million in stolen cash, or lose everything. From Copenhagen’s gritty underworld to the corridors of corrupt power, Ravn will risk it all to unmask Eva’s killer—if the truth doesn’t destroy him first.

"The killer was supposed to be gone. But the killings are hauntingly familiar.
Detective Ravn thought he was done with the worst of homicide. He lives quietly on his houseboat, Bianca, working as a PI on trivial domestic dramas – until a nervous client asks for help finding an old school friend.
Seventeen years ago, two boys committed a crime so brutal they vanished into witness protection. New names. New lives. Gone. Now, women are being hunted across Copenhagen. The attacks are vicious, ritualistic and unmistakably familiar.
Ravn’s client is certain: one of those boys is behind the attacks. As Ravn starts to unravel a trail of unsolved assaults and sadistic murders, he finds himself up against a killer who has been perfecting his methods in the shadows and a witness with unclear motives of his own.
The fourth book in Michael Katz Krefeld’s gripping Ravn series. Perfect for fans of the Harry Hole series by Jo Nesbø and Søren Sveistrup’s “The Chestnut Man”.

"A missing son. A powerful father. And a shocking act of mass murder on a remote Danish island.
From bestselling author Michael Katz Krefeld—master of Nordic noir suspense—comes a dark and atmospheric crime thriller.
Former detective Ravn has turned his back on the police to work as a private investigator. Hired by wealthy businessman Ferdinand Mesmer to find his estranged son, Jacob, Ravn thinks it’s a straightforward missing-person case. But Jacob isn’t just missing. He’s the leader of a secretive community living in isolation on a decaying farm on a remote island.
Ravn soon realises that Ferdinand’s motives are far from paternal, and that Jacob’s dangerous charisma has pushed his followers to the brink. What follows is a horrifying series of events leading to tragedy and revealing a chilling truth that binds father and son through guilt and greed.

"A grieving detective on the edge. A missing woman. And a serial killer hunting in the shadows of Stockholm’s cobbled alleys.
Criminal investigator Thomas Ravnsholdt – known as Ravn – is adrift after the brutal murder of his wife. Once a relentless detective in Copenhagen’s special crime unit, he is now forced on leave, living in self-imposed exile on his neglected boat, with his grumpy Old English Bulldog.
But when a friend pleads for help finding a missing young woman, Ravn is pulled back into a grim world he swore he’d abandoned. His search crosses the cold waters between Denmark and Sweden, leading him to the stark and forbidding scrapyards of Stockholm, where victims are preserved like grotesque trophies. As the body count rises, Ravn must confront his own haunted past to deliver justice and perhaps find a path to redemption.
Dark and moody, “The Reckoning” is a Nordic noir thriller perfect for fans of Netflix’s 'The Chestnut Man', and brooding Harry Bosch-like detectives such as Jo Nesbo’s Harry Hole and Jussi Adler-Olsen’s Carl Mørck in 'Department Q'.
