L'Angelo di ghiaccio

Understanding the origins of Risk adds depth to the character, but I'm curious what motivated the author to explore his past in this way.

The story kept me on the edge of my seat, but I wonder if the quick pace might be too intense for some readers. How did others experience it?

The bleak, atmospheric backdrop really enhances the mystery. I'm curious whether the author drew from real Swedish locations or created a fictional world.
