Mia Kruger has returned to the island of Hitra where she once came to end her own life. Having reconciled with her twin sister''s death, she no longer harbours a wish to die. But the challenges of her work have taken a toll, and to Holger Munch''s discontent, she has decided to leave the police force once and for all. But when Mia is approached by 11-year-old Sofia, the investigator inside her is awakened. Sofia, having heard the famous Mia now lives on her island, enlists the former detective to find out what happened to her best friend Jonathan who disappeared three years earlier. When a young girl is found brutally murdered with Jonathan''s name next to her in blood, it seems the cases are connected. Calling in Munch to join the investigation, the pair are reunited to solve the case of a serial killer, this time faced with all the challenges that being on a rural, isolated island entails. As tensions start to build between the local inhabitants of Hitra, Mia and Munch must navigate not only stormy seas but a maze of dead-end leads and tense relationships before ultimately finding the elusive killer. Smarter, faster and more suspenseful than ever, international bestseller Samuel Bjork is back with his most satisfying mystery to date.
