Hush Baby

More about the book

Vrakören is a secluded neighborhood on the coast, halfway between Borga and Helsinki. With its handful of houses and darkly whispering forest, it is a perfect place for adventure but also for secrets. Here, Olof moves in with his wife Henrik and their two stepchildren, Lukas and Robin. Years later, child psychologist Robin returns against her will. Vrakören, along with its shop owned by the Vinqvist family, has been swallowed by the capital. Architects have designed new homes with giant panoramic windows and high walls to shield the elite from prying eyes. Beneath the luxurious surface, tension simmers. Both children and adults live in fear. Robin's mother is bullied by locals, someone has desecrated the cemetery, and rumors of drug trafficking circulate. Robin finds herself entangled in a web of intrigue, where everything points to a charitable organization established years ago in the community.
