I'm hooked’ Michael Wood‘This superb Scandi thriller is the perfect antidote to the plague of tweeness that infects so much crime fiction today’ Mark Sanderson, The Times‘A must-read series’ Nordic Watchlist____In Norway’s far north, something unspeakable is surfacing…When a mutilated body rises from the icy waters off the jetty in Kjerringøy, it shocks the quiet coastal village – and stirs something darker beneath. Not long after, a young woman is found dead in a drab Bodø apartment. Suicide, perhaps. Or something far more sinister. Detective Jakob Weber and former national investigator Noora Yun Sande are drawn into both cases. Then a hiker reports a terrifying encounter in the nearby wilderness: a solitary cabin … and a man without a face. As the investigation deepens, the clues grow more disturbing – and the wild, wintry landscape closes in. Jakob is certain of one thing: if they don’t find the killer soon, he’ll strike again. SECOND in the dark, addictive Nordic Noir series set in Norway’s unforgiving Arctic north. ______Praise for the Arctic Mysteries series ‘Atmospheric’ Crime Monthly‘Jakob Weber is a great protagonist, and the sense of place is phenomenal’ Thomas Enger‘This is first-class Nordic Noir from the real North, where danger lurks around every corner’ Gunnar Staalesen‘Dark and totally gripping … adds a new dimension to the police procedural’ European Literature Network‘Nearly as many twists and turns as Norway’s Trollstigen pass … will satisfy even the pickiest crime reader’ Crime Fiction Lover
