From internationally bestselling author Katrine Engberg, the series
that is a "gripping addition to the Scandinavian crime fiction pantheon"
(Oprah Daily) comes to a stunning conclusion as Jeppe Kørner and
Anette Werner rush to untangle a long-simmering mystery before a brutal
killer strikes again.
Jeppe Kørner, on leave from the police force and nursing a broken heart,
has taken refuge on the island of Bornholm for the winter. But when
Jeppe lends a helping hand at the island's local sawmill, he begins to
realize that the island may not be the peaceful refuge it appears to be.
Back in Copenhagen, Anette Werner is tasked with leading the
investigation into a severed corpse discovered on a downtown playground.
As she follows the strange trail of clues, they all seem to lead back to
Bornholm. With an innocent offer to check out a lead, Jeppe unwittingly
finds himself in the crosshairs of a sinister mystery rooted in the
past, forcing him to team up with Anette and a lonely island resident to
help him unravel the Bornholm's secrets before it's too late.
With her signature "unforgettable characters and brilliant plot twists"
(Kathy Reichs, #1 New York Times bestselling author), Katrine Engberg
weaves a satisfying and white-knuckled finale to her "brazen and
original" (The Toronto Star) Korner and Werner series.
