As the spring warmth melts the ice, divers search the wreckage at
the bottom of the Ångermanland River - but the murdered man they
recover was put there much more recently than the historic
artefacts they were seeking. Local Detective Eira Sjödin, newly
pregnant and not talking about it, is proud to be put in charge of
the investigation - until she discovers the man's identity, and the
evidence begins to point towards her own family. As Eira works to
piece together the truth from the long-buried evidence and her
mother's fragmented memories, she isn't sure she is prepared for
the revelations this truth might unleash.

The regional police can't find anyone who knew him. But no-one
knows the locals like Detective Eira Sjoedin. When her expert
knowledge of her home town is again called in, she knows one of
them must have seen something. Then, a shock: before she can
uncover the truth, someone close to her disappears. Has he fallen
victim to the same criminal they've been chasing? And can Eira put
the pieces together in time to save him? **AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER

Detective Eira Sjodin, introduced in the electrifying Swedish crime
thriller We Know You Remember, races to solve a disappearance that
hits chillingly close to home in the second book in the High Coast
series, hailed by People as "Nordic noir at its best." In the small
mining town of Malmberget, north of the Arctic Circle, residents
and their houses are being relocated. As the mine that built the
town slowly swallows it street by street, building by building, the
memories of the community have collapsed into the huge pit they
call "the hole." Only a few stubborn souls cling to their homes,
refusing to leave. When two workers making their final preparations
hear a sound coming from a basement, they break a cellar window and
find a terrified man curled up in a corner. In Ådalen, 700
kilometers away, police officer Eira Sjödin is investigating the
disappearance of a man reported missing by his ex-wife. Eira and
her colleagues search his apartment, contact his friends and
relatives, and query local hospitals, but the man has vanished
without a trace. Eira knows the pain of loss--she mourns for her
mother, whose mind has been stolen by dementia. To escape her
loneliness and her memories, Eira loses herself in a casual affair.
But she's wholly unprepared when her feelings deepen for GG, who is
twenty years her senior-and her boss. When the diligent GG doesn't
show up for work two days in a row, Eira and her colleagues quickly
realize that something is wrong--their boss has gone missing. In
the dramatic second installment of the High Coast Series, Eira
Sjödin finds herself at the mercy of an elusive perpetrator--and
of a love she can no longer deny.
Where were you the night Lina Stavred went missing? 'A terrific
twisting roller-coaster of a thriller.' PETER JAMES 'Intensely
gripping.' CHRIS WHITAKER The case was closed. Lina Stavred went
missing 20 years ago. A local boy confessed to her murder - but the
body was never found. The records were sealed. Since then, the
people of Adalen have avoided talking about that painful summer,
preferring to leave the past untouched. But we know you remember.
Now Lina's murderer has reappeared. This is detective Eira
Sjoedin's chance to untangle years of well-kept secrets - but the
truth is something Adalen would rather forget. 'Atmospheric,
immersive and utterly compelling.' M. W. CRAVEN 'Truly gripping!'
