The brand-new ice-cold thriller in the million-copy bestselling series

THE BRILLIANT FIFTH BOOK IN THE BESTSELLING HILDUR SERIES, SOON TO BE A TV SHOW!

Police Chief Jakob Johanson is at his girlfriend Gurn’s family midwinter celebration. The air is electric with their joy and reverie, until Jakob realises that something is very, very wrong.

Detective Hildur Rnarsdttir arrives at a bookstore known for its ghost stories, called there by its owner. Upstairs lies the body of a Finnish businessman, whose presence no one can explain.

Disa, a former police informant, decides to use her free time to volunteer at a women’s shelter, helping abused women escape their partners. But Disa often crosses the line, and when she does, there’s no coming back.

As the three draw closer to one another, Hildur must once again solve the seemingly impossible, all while trying to hold her personal life together.
