More about the book
In this gripping debut of a new series, we meet 28-year-old Detective Inspector Embla Nystrom, who has battled chronic nightmares and racing thoughts since childhood. While she occasionally struggles with unhealthy fixations and impulsive decisions, Embla channels her anxious energy into her work in Gothenburg's mobile unit and her passion for sports. Excited for a break from her high-stress job, she joins her family and friends for the annual moose hunt in rural Dalsland. However, her vacation takes a turn when she encounters Peter, an enigmatic newcomer to the group. His arrival raises eyebrows, especially since one veteran hunter warns that the group's number now stands at thirteen—a bad omen. Tension escalates as unsettling events unfold, leading to the mysterious disappearance of two men from a neighboring hunting party. When one of the missing hunters is discovered dead in a nearby lake, Embla is thrust into the role of investigator. With local help, she begins to unravel the dark histories of her fellow hunters in a desperate search for the killer, turning her much-needed getaway into a chilling investigation.
