'Enough to keep any thriller fan up for hours...terrific and memorable' Peter Robinson The spring tides are the highest of the year in Nordkoster; the beach will be covered in particularly deep water tonight. Three men on the beach are digging a hole, covertly watched by a young boy. His intrigue turns to horror as he makes out a fourth figure - the woman for whom the hole is intended. Buried up to her neck in the sand, the high tide is rapidly approaching. Still screaming in terror, the victim takes her last breath as water fills her nose and mouth - in her stomach, she feels her baby kick. And her waters break. Twenty-four years later, the abhorrent crime remains unsolved; gruesome violence however is still prevalent after all those years. A gang has been beating up and killing homeless people in parks - worse still, they are filming their attacks and broadcasting them on the internet. The police have their work cut out trying to keep abreast of the crime wave. Olivia Ronning hopes to follow in her father's footsteps and join their ranks in the next few months after she completes her training; she has only one last hurdle to overcome over the summer break, a challenge from her professor to pick a cold case and solve it. Should be simple, she thinks. Little does she know the world she is getting involved in, the danger she faces and the ugly truths she risks uncovering. A masterpiece by the king and queen of Scandinavian crime, Cilla and Rolf Borjlind. Cinematic and powerful - but above all, gripping.
Following their bestselling debut novel, Spring Tide, Cilla and Rolf Borjlind are back with the second instalment in the series.Samira is dead. She died last night. But now she is looking down over the roofs of Marseille. She remembers how he strangled her, how he bashed in her skull with an ashtray.

From now on she has resolved to rely solely on herself, and she will restyle herself Olivia Riviera - in homage to her dead mother. When Olivia's friend Sandra Sahlmann discovers her father's body hanging in the hall of their house, the police initially assume suicide. But something doesn't sit right. Having veered away from her budding career as a police office, Olivia knows she should leave this alone - but she is just too close to this case, it's personal now. Bengt Sahlmann's suicide/murder lands on Mette Olsater's desk. Tom Stilton is dragged into Samira's murder, following a personal request from Abbas. And Olivia for her part can't let Sandra's questions go unanswered. The three investigations seem bound to cross paths.
