Detective Karen Eiken Hornby thought she had left her father’s chaotic family and the northern island of Noorö behind. But when a man’s body is found in a flooded quarry and her team is sidelined by illness, she has no choice but to return.
The isolated community guards its secrets tightly, and the people Karen once called family seem to know more than they admit. As she digs into the case, old resentments resurface, the past stirs to life, and the line between loyalty and justice begins to blur.
Maria Adolfsson’s Wild Shores, the second novel in the Doggerland series, is a haunting and atmospheric police procedural that captures the stark beauty and buried darkness of a northern island nation.
