The Chain Of Chance by Stanislaw Lem
A medically trained investigator becomes fixated on a puzzling series of corpses of young women found along a stretch of coast and sets out to determine whether they are the work of a serial killer or the product of statistical fluke; blending forensic detail, statistical reasoning, and detective techniques, the narrative alternates careful technical inquiry with philosophical reflection on probability, causation, and the human need to impose meaningful patterns on randomness, leading to a disquieting conclusion that challenges assumptions about explanation and responsibility.
