Fresh from rehab, PI Varg Veum faces his most complex

investigation yet, when a man is found drowned, a young woman

disappears, and the case of a missing child is revived. The classic

Nordic Noir series continues…

PI Varg Veum has returned to duty following a stint in rehab, but

his new composure and resolution are soon threatened when three

complex crimes land on his desk.

A man is found dead in an elite swimming pool. A young woman

has gone missing. Most chillingly, Veum is asked to investigate

the ‘Camilla Case’: an eight-year-old cold case involving the

disappearance of a little girl, who was never found.

As the threads of these three apparently unrelated cases

come together, against the backdrop of a series of shocking

environmental crimes, Veum faces the most challenging, traumatic

investigation of his career.

A stunning, sophisticated, tension-packed thriller – the darkest of hardboiled Nordic Noir – from one of Norway’s most acclaimed crime writers
