Synopsis
Detective Inspector Annika Strandhed and the Marine Homicide Unit return to solve more brutal and unexplained murders that wash up in Scotland’s waters. The team are challenged as their dynamics shift, pushing them to rapidly adapt as they encounter murders more complex than ever before. The crimes take them to new landscapes showing multiple sides of Scotland from the wild Hebridean islands to the gothic and urbane capital Edinburgh. Meanwhile, Annika balances a family dynamic that grows more complicated as long-held secrets from the past begin to impact her relationships. As always, Annika shares her wry and humorous observations with us through a literary lens, alongside raising her brilliant and complex teenage daughter, Morgan.
