Former Olympic swimmer-turned-sports journalist Jackson Reid boards the luxury cruise ship Northern Star for what should be a straightforward assignment—covering the exclusive "Midnight Sun Marathon" held during the summer solstice in the stunning Norwegian fjords. But when Markus Olsen, the marathon's favored runner and a controversial figure in endurance sports, is found dead in the ship's hydrotherapy pool, Jackson's journalistic instincts tell him this was no accident. With the ship scheduled to dock in an isolated fjord town for the marathon, Jackson has limited time to uncover the truth before Norwegian authorities take over.
Joining forces with the ship's no-nonsense security chief Astrid Larsen, Jackson dives into an investigation that leads him through the competitive world of marathon running and the ship's state-of-the-art fitness facilities. As they navigate a sea of suspects—from ambitious rivals with long-standing grudges to medical staff with questionable methods—Jackson discovers that Olsen wasn't just preparing for a race, but was on the verge of exposing secrets that powerful figures in the sports world would kill to keep hidden. Every passenger and crew member has motives and opportunities, and time is running out as the ship sails deeper into the magnificent fjords.
As the midnight sun illuminates the waters, Jackson races against time to catch a killer who understands that sometimes winning means everything—even if it costs someone's life.
