Mail _____________ The latest instalment in the Munch and Krüger series from the
bestselling author of I'm Travelling Alone . She'd once come here to kill herself but now Mia
Kruger has returned to the picturesque island of Hitra to escape from the violence and madness
of her life as a police investigator. But when she is approached by 11-year-old Sofia asking
for help in finding her missing friend her old instincts are awakened. Three years ago
Jonathan disappeared without a trace on his way home from Sofia's house. Mia is just beginning
to re-examine the cold case when another crime rocks the island: a teenage girl is found
brutally murdered with Jonathan's name written in her blood. Knowing that the two cases are
connected but unable to make the link Mia calls in her former boss Holger Munch to join the
investigation. When other bodies are discovered tensions build in the apparently idyllic
community and Kruger and Munch must quickly learn to navigate the deadly maze of the island
before the elusive killer claims their next victim. With characteristic cunning and
psychological depth Samuel Bjork pulls back a community's curtain of respectability to reveal
the dark web of treachery and deceit that lies behind it. _____________ Readers love Samuel
