In Norway's far north, something unspeakable is surfacing... When a mutilated body rises from the icy waters off the jetty in Kjerringoy, it shocks the quiet coastal village - and stirs something darker beneath. Not long after, a young woman is found dead in a drab Bodo apartment. Suicide, perhaps. Or something far more sinister. Detective Jakob Weber and former national investigator Noora Yun Sande are drawn into both cases. Then a hiker reports a terrifying encounter in the nearby wilderness: a solitary cabin... and a man without a face. As the investigation deepens, the clues grow more disturbing - and the wild, wintry landscape closes in. Jakob is certain of one thing: if they don't find the killer soon, he'll strike again.
