AN OLD SANATORIUM. ONE TERRIFYING MURDER. FIVE SUSPECTS. AND A CASE
THAT NEVER CLOSED.
WELCOME TO THE SANATORIUM
High up in the mountains stands a sanatorium. Once a hospital dedicated
to treating tuberculosis, it now sits haunted by the ghosts of its past.
One wing of the hospital remains open and houses six employees: the
caretaker, two doctors, two nurses and a young research assistant.
Despite the wards closing decades ago, they remain at the hospital to
conduct research. But the cold corridors, draughty windows and echoey
halls are constant reminders of the building’s dark history.
When one of the nurses, Yrsa, is found brutally murdered, they discover
that death has never left this place – and neither did its secrets.
None can escape this terrifying legacy.
Despite just five suspects the case is never solved and remains open
for two decades. Until a young criminologist named Helgi Reykdal
attempts to finally lay the ghosts of the hospital's past to rest . . .

killer's blood run in the family?Lexi Jakes thought she could run
from her past...she was wrong. Because when her biological mother
is found dead, with all the same hallmarks of her own serial killer
father, Lexi knows someone is out for revenge, and that she and her
small daughter, Isla, could be next. Determined to protect Isla,
Lexi travels back to Lindisfarne, the small remote island where she
grew up. There, cut off from the mainland, Lexi hopes they'll both
be safe. But as the tide comes in and the causeway slowly closes,
Lexi's greatest fear comes true: now they are trapped with no way
out. Lexi will do anything to save her daughter...she is the serial
killer's girl after all.
Three women, connected by one of the most brutal mass slayings in US history. Lucy is sick of turning the other cheek. Ten years ago, an anti-Mormon mob drove her family and friends from their homes in Illinois. But now, the tables have turned. Rumor has it, some of those same men are traveling through Utah on their way to California. And this time, Lucy won’t run. Katrina knew the trek west would be difficult. But she had no idea she’d be walking straight into hell. The young mother of four is prepared to do whatever it takes to protect her family from the violence closing in, but the battle to survive will be more harrowing than anything she can imagine. Sally has just been “gifted” to a man she barely knows—as his fourth wife. Trapped and lonely, she tries to make the best of her new life. But when her husband insists on joining a group of religious zealots’ plans for revenge, she’s forced to reconsider her loyalties. Even if it means putting her own life on the line.
