When a mutilated body surfaces and a woman dies mysteriously, Jakob Weber uncovers a chilling trail through Norway’s wild north. SECOND in a darkly addictive Nordic Noir series.

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.
