Susanne Jansson Libri

In this "bone-chillingly cool crime debut" (Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train), a young biologist studying the remote Swedish wetlands stumbles upon a body--and finds that if the marsh's secrets can't stay buried, neither can hers... In the remote Swedish wetlands lies Mossmarken: the village on the edge of the mire where, once upon a time, people came to leave offerings to the gods. Biologist Nathalie came in order to study the peat bogs. But she has a secret: Mossmarken was once her home, a place where terrible things happened. She has returned at last, determined to confront her childhood trauma and find out the truth. Soon after her arrival, she finds an unconscious man out on the marsh, his pockets filled with gold--just like the ancient human sacrifices. A grave is dug in the mire, which vanishes a day after. And as the police investigate, the bodies start to surface... Is the mire calling out for sacrifices, as the superstitious locals claim? Or is it an all-too-human evil? Richly atmospheric and haunting to the last page, Susanne Jansson's stunning debut is a gripping tale of the power of nature to shape our reality, the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of the world, and the terrible consequences they may have. This international sensation will captivate fans of the celebrated suspense fiction of Jane Harper or Tana French.

An atmospheric and compelling Swedish suspense of a parent's greatest fear realized, written by a master storyteller.

Martin, jeho manželka Alexandra a ich dve deti – trojročný Adam a šesťmesačná Nellie žijú na ostrove Orust na západnom pobreží Švédska.

Keď sa Martin vráti, po Adamovi akoby sa zľahla zem. Nikde ho nevie nájsť, rozbehne sa k moru, no ani tam nie je, na vode sa vznáša iba jeho vedierko...Naozaj sa chlapček utopil, alebo ho niekto umiesol?
