In Norway's frozen north, it's not just secrets that are buried

When nineteen-year-old Iselin Hanssen disappears duringa run in a popular hiking area in Bod, Northern Norway, suspicion quickly falls on her boyfriend. For investigator Jakob Weber, the case seems clear-cut, almost unexceptional, even though there is some suggestion that Iselin lived parts of her life beneath the radar ofboth family and friends.

But events take a dramatic turn when another woman disappears in similar circumstances - this time on the island of Rst, miles off the Norwegian coast, in the wild ocean.

Rumours that a killer is on the loose begin to spread, terrifying the local population and leading to wild conspiracies. But then Jakob discovers that this isn't the first time that young women have vanished without a trace in the region, and it becomes clear that someone is hiding something
and another murderous spree may have just begun

For fans of Joe Pickett, Ragnar Jonasson and Jorn Lier Horst
