BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO DISCOVER THE GRIPPING NEW MYSTERY FEATURING DETECTIVE WILLIAM WISTING . . .
When true crime fanatic Astri Arctander disappears, Detective William Wisting is called upon to investigate.
Alongside her fellow amateur sleuths, Astri had been trying to uncover what really happened to Ruby Thompson, a backpacker whose body was recently discovered in Palamós, Spain.
Astri was ready to unmask Ruby’s killer. Then she vanished.
Wisting is determined to solve the case – to find justice for Ruby, and to bring Astri home unharmed.
But he soon finds himself at the heart of a dark and twisted cat-and-mouse chase, that will take him from the snowy depths of Norway to the hot Catalan hills.
Wisting is willing to go to extreme lengths to find the truth.
But his enemy will go further to keep it buried – and the closer Wisting gets, the more dangerous they become . . .

'Jørn Lier Horst writes some of the best Scandinavian crime fiction available. His books are superbly plotted and addictive, the characters wonderfully realised ' Yrsa Sigurðardóttir,
Jørn Lier Horst worked as a police officer and head of investigations before becoming a full-time writer, and has established himself as one of the most successful authors to come out of Scandinavia. His books have sold over two million copies in his native Norway alone, been No. 1 international bestsellers, and he’s published in twenty-six languages around the world. In 2024, he was awarded the prestigious Finnish Whodunnit Society’s Honorary Award for excellence in foreign crime fiction.
The Wisting TV adaptation, produced by the team behind Wallander and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, was a hit series. The first two series are available to stream on BBC 4, with the third still to come.
