Summary

Operating from the deepest shadows of the dark web, a sadistic predator orchestrates his atrocities remotely, hiring ruthless mercenaries to abduct women off the streets of Denmark and stream their terrifying final moments live directly to his screen. His methods are flawless, his proxies are disposable, and his identity remains completely hidden.

Meanwhile, former detective Hans Schmidt is trapped behind the concrete walls of Denmark's most impenetrable prison. Wrongfully convicted of a horrific murder spree, Hans is locked away with the nation's most dangerous criminals. But as he pieces together the evidence from his cell, Hans realizes the true mastermind-an old enemy known only as the Barber-pulled the strings to frame him. Knowing the justice system has failed, Hans must do the unthinkable: orchestrate an impossible escape from a maximum-security fortress.

On the outside, traumatized police investigator Louise Andersen is the only one who knows Hans is innocent. But the dark web syndicate is already closing in on her. The Barber has a deeply personal vendetta, and he is obsessed with making Louise the star of his next snuff film. To stay alive, she must risk her badge and her freedom to help Hans break out and dismantle the lethal network together, before the cameras start rolling on her own demise.

The Dark Abyss is the pulse-pounding third installment in the bestselling Red Revenge crime thriller series by acclaimed Danish author Nis Jakob.

    He who drinks of the serpent’s blood shall become invincible… 
    While on official UNESCO business in The Vatican Museums, Dr Max Hunter finds himself pulled into a dark conspiracy of Biblical proportions. 
    Summoned to the inner sanctum of the Vatican in the middle of the night, Hunter discovers his friend and colleague, Professor Marco Vitali, has been brutally murdered, using his dying moments to draw a message on the floor in his own blood – a message that seems to implicate Hunter in his death. 
    Things rapidly get worse. Vatican officials inform Hunter that not only has the professor been murdered, but a high-ranking cardinal has also been kidnapped, and a ransom note left giving terms for his safe return. Hunter soon realises the highest echelons of the Vatican are holding information back from him, jeopardising his mission to bring the murderer to justice and secure the safe release of the cardinal. 
    With the HARPA team alerted and racing across the Atlantic to join the action, Hunter sets out with Inspector Martina Rinaldi, a courageous young Vatican Gendarmerie officer in pursuit of his friend’s killers but soon realises he is in a lethal race to stop an evil older than humanity resurfacing and threatening the entire world.

Opting for independence, I set out into the unforgiving terrain of the Rockies, ill-prepared for the challenges that awaited me. With winter looming and no opportunities in sight, I resorted to desperate measures to survive, turning to a life of crime. 
    Welcome to the gritty reality of my true story—a tale where resilience clashes with harsh realities and survival becomes the sole imperative.
