Legend has it that the ocean can lure children and make them fall
into the depths to never return . . . Martin, who has always been
drawn to the ocean, moves his wife Alexandra and their two young
children move to his family's idyllic summer cottage in the
picturesque island village of Orust, on the west coast of Sweden.
Martin begins to cultivate a mussel farm, where he soon runs into
trouble with the locals. One January weekend, when Martin is
distracted by a ringing phone, he discovers that in those few
moments, his young son has gone missing and his little red bucket
is bobbing in the waves. Though his body is never found, it's ruled
an accidental drowning. Martin's grief is all-consuming as he falls
into a deep depression, withdrawing from his family and community.
When former police photographer Maya Linde arrives to Orust, she
learns of the little boy's disappearance and decides to do some
investigating of her own. Martin and Maya grow closer as they learn
the hidden truths of this town and the locals who have always
mythologized the ocean. Together they make a macabre discovery:
other children have tragically died in the these waves, all on the
same day in January, all in the exact same spot, though decades
apart. Can it really be a coincidence, or is the ocean luring the
children into its depths? As Maya and Martin grapple with a threat
far greater than they ever imagined, they soon realize that the
truth is actually much stranger than fiction . . . Set against a
backdrop of the whispering ocean, Winter Water is an atmospheric
and gripping suspense novel of the nature of grief and the many
acts is can make us capable of.
