Chief Investigator of Nordland Police, Jakob Weber is drawn into a complex case when a teenaged girl goes missing in Northern Norway, and a second woman disappears from a remote island in similar circumstances ... FIRST in a compelling, dark new Nordic Noir series.
Provides a boilerplate for anyone wishing to write a Scandi crime novel ... Weber, a dagger in a velvet sheath, is an engaging character; discerning readers will wish to meet him again Mark Sanderson, The Times

_______
In Norway's frozen north, it's not just secrets that are buried...
When nineteen-year-old Iselin Hanssen disappears during a 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 of both family and friends.
But events take a dramatic turn when another woman disappears in similar circumstances - this time on the island of R st, 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
