What to expect
A four-year-old girl has disappeared from her home. And then more family members vanish.
Detective Sofia Hjortn is in a race against time to find them as she and her colleagues desperately search a snow-covered Örnsköldsvik.
Meanwhile, Sofia has other problems to deal with. Heavily pregnant and balancing work and a difficult relationship with her boyfriend, she is at breaking point.
Can she make it to the light at the end of the tunnel?
An edge-of-your-seat Scandi detective novel. Perfect for fans of Will Dean, Ragnar Jónasson and Camilla Läckberg.
Lina Areklew was born in Stockholm in 1979 and grew up on the High Coast. Today she divides her time between a house northwest of Stockholm and a croft outside Örnsköldsvik. After a career as a project manager within telecommunications, she studied literature and now works as a freelance copy editor. Her debut novel is set in Stockholm and on the island Ulvön outside Örnsköldsvik.
