About
A disused quarry. A suspicious death. A dark past bubbling to the surface . . .
Detective Inspector Karen Eiken Hornby is one of the few female police officers on the remote island nation of Doggerland, situated in the North Sea between the UK and Denmark. Though she returned to her homeland from London some years ago, she has largely avoided visiting the northernmost island, Noorö, where her father's wayward family reside.
When a man's body is discovered on Christmas morning in a flooded quarry on Noorö there are questions surrounding his death. With illness and overseas holidays preventing any of her colleagues from attending, Karen has no choice but to head north to investigate.
The stakes are raised when another body is found on New Year's Eve. However, with limited resources at her disposal and seasonal festivities causing delays, Karen is largely on her own - and she cannot shake the feeling that her relatives, with their somewhat lax approach to the rule of law, could be involved . . . Maria Adolfsson lives in Stockholm where she worked as a communications director and now writes full-time. The Doggerland series has been sold in to 18 languages to date, and has sold over 330,000 copies in Sweden alone. The highly anticipated follow-up to Sunday Times Book of the Month, Fatal Isles, from the global bestselling author, Maria Adolfsson. Perfect for fans of Shetland, Broadchurch and Ann Cleeves. SERIES SUCCESS: The Doggerland series has been translated to 18 languages to date and has sold over 330,000 copies in Sweden alone UNIQUE SETTING: Ann Cleeves meets Håkan Nesser in this wildly imaginative series set in a fictional island nation, Doggerland, somewhere between mainland UK and Denmark CRITICAL ACCLAIM: Book 1, Fatal Isles, had a fantastic critical response, with Joan Smith of Sunday Times dubbing it the birth of a new genre: Anglo-Nordic noir
