No. 1 international bestseller and Swedish crime sensation Camilla Lackberg's new psychological thriller - irresistible for fans of Stieg Larsson and Jo Nesbø.

On a late summer's night, a young woman jumps in her car, her hands slippery with blood as she grips the steering wheel. With her five-year-old son in the back seat, Annie flees to the only safe haven she knows: the island of Gråskär off the coast of Fjällbacka, a place that has been in her family for generations.

Meanwhile, Detective Patrik Hedström has barely stepped foot inside his office following a lengthy sick leave when he is thrown headlong into a murder investigation.

A man has been found murdered in his home, shot through the back of his head. The victim, Mats Sverin, was the council's financial director, heading up a regeneration project worth millions. But when Patrik and his team start digging deeper into the dead man's life, they uncover more and more unanswered questions. Why was he in such a rush to return to his home town of Fjällbacka after his years in Gothenburg? And is it pure coincidence that Mats's childhood sweetheart Annie has also suddenly returned to the area?

Mats visited Annie on Gråskär before his death. The locals call the island The Ghost Isle - they say that it's haunted, and that the dead have something to tell to the living. But will anyone get close enough to uncover the dark secrets that lurk there?
