Who will be next?
An early morning winter swim in Visby marina turns into a nightmare when DI Lottie Lind collides with something frozen beneath the ice, a severed body part. As the search for the remaining pieces begins, the case takes a darker turn. Before the marina has even been fully swept, another dismembered body is found in a nature reserve, leaving no doubt that Gotland is dealing with something far more sinister.Filip Ek, a former police officer returning to Gotland after years abroad, is drawn into the investigation. Still haunted by his past, he finds himself working alongside Lottie as the team grapples with a troubling pattern: a series of unresolved suicides among young women, cold cases that suddenly feel anything but isolated. Could they be linked to the recent deaths?
As fragments begin to align, Visby’s postcard tranquillity gives way to a tense game of cat and mouse with a serial killer who moves unseen through the close-knit community. It’s not what you are—it’s who you are. As Lottie prepares to leave the island and Filip is forced to remain, both must confront the choices that brought them here. In a place where everyone knows everyone, and secrets never stay buried, Lottie and Filip must decide what home truly means: the place they yearn for, or the responsibility they cannot escape.
Set on the Swedish island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea, this police procedural immerses you in a chilling Nordic noir experience. The books in the Gotland Murders series can be read as standalones.
