Paperback: Meet Peter Boutrup. He thought he was finished with the past. But it was not finished with him.
In the small town of Grenå, once the murders start, no one knows who to trust.
Ex-convict Peter Boutrup is trying to build a new life. It is the coldest winter in memory as Peter Boutrup moves to remote, rural Denmark to start a new life. But then a young woman goes missing on New Year's Eve, and Peter discovers the body of Ramses, an old acquaintance from prison, on the beach.
Two days after the disappearance, a woman's body is found in the harbour - naked, attached to an anchor with her face torn off. Is this the body of the missing woman and is it connected with Ramses' murder? And could Peter's strange new neighbour, Felix, be involved? Peter Boutrup just wants peace and quiet but he must accept that the truth lies hidden in the past he is trying to forget.
