Riley Paige Mystery (Swedish)

In the outskirts of Virginia's countryside, women are found murdered in the most grotesque way. The FBI is called in but stands handcuffed. A serial killer is out there and his crimes are becoming more and more frequent. They know there is only one agent that is good enough to solve this case: Special Agent Riley Paige. Riley himself is on paid leave and is recovering from the clash with the latest serial killer. She is fragile and the FBI is unwilling to interfere with her. Nevertheless, Riley, who is tamped with his own demons, chooses to take on the case. Her hunt takes her from the wrecked subculture of dog collectors, to the homes of broken families and into the very darkest of feathers in the killer's mind. As the mystery unfolds, Riley realizes that she has taken on a killer who is sicker than she could have imagined. In a hectic battle against the clock, she finds herself pressed to her utmost. Her job is at stake, her family's safety is threatened and her fragile psyche is on the verge of collapse. But when Riley takes a case, she never gives up. She becomes obsessed with the case and it leads her to the darkest parts of her psyche, where the boundaries between being hunters or prey are blurred. After a series of unexpected turns, her instincts lead her to a shocking resolution that not even Riley himself could ever have imagined.

Women are being murdered in upstate New York, their bodies found mysteriously hanging in chains. With the FBI called in, given the bizarre nature of the murders-and the lack of any clues-there is only one agent they can turn to: Special Agent Riley Paige. Riley, reeling from her last case, is reluctant to take on a new one, since she is still convinced a former serial killer is out there, stalking her. She knows, though, that her ability to enter a serial killer's mind and her obsessive nature is what will be needed to crack this case, and she just can't refuse-even if it will push her over the edge. Riley's search takes her deep into a killer's deluded mind as it leads her to orphanages, mental hospitals, prisons, all in an effort to understand the depth of his psychosis. Realizing she is up against a true psychopath, she knows time is short before he strikes again. But with her own job on the line and her own family a target, and with her fragile psyche collapsing, it may all be too much for her-and too late.
