The Chosen: A Nordic Noir Police Procedural (The Gotland Murders Book 1)

DI Lottie Lind discovers a severed body part while swimming in Visby marina on a winter morning. As the search for the remaining pieces unfolds, a second body is found in a nature reserve, revealing a far more serious threat to Gotland. Filip Ek, a former police officer returning to the island after years abroad, joins the investigation alongside Lottie. The team uncovers a troubling pattern: a series of unresolved suicides among young women that may be connected to the recent deaths. As the pieces align, the investigation becomes a tense pursuit of a serial killer operating within Gotland's close-knit community. Both Lottie and Filip must confront their personal histories and what home means to them—the place they long for or the responsibility they cannot escape. Set on the Swedish island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea, this is the first book in the Gotland Murders series and can be read as a standalone.
