The Clover: A Nordic Noir Police Procedural (The Friland Murders Book 3)

During the opening of a summer festival on the Friland Islands in the North Sea, a fire erupts on a raft bearing an effigy. As the event is livestreamed and fireworks begin, the effigy appears to move and screams are heard from the crowd and the effigy itself, signaling the start of a horrific crime. Fifteen years earlier, a baby named Kelly was taken from her stroller and found murdered on a desolate beach. The cold case is reopened when genetic genealogy produces a DNA match, potentially identifying the killer. Forensic Technician Moa Bakke and Detective Inspector Fredrik Dal, already present at the festival, become unwitting witnesses to one of the islands' most gruesome crimes. As the investigation unfolds, they must confront questions about their loyalties while past traumas resurface. Set on a fictional group of Swedish islands in the North Sea, this police procedural follows Dal, Bakke, and their team in Toft as they investigate brutal crimes on the Friland Islands. The series can be read as standalones.
