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. Read less
