It is January, and the snow has yet to blanket the quaint town of Harlösa in Southern Sweden. In this tight-knit community, a mysterious young woman who no one seems to know has plunged through the ice. The case lands on police investigator Fredrika Storm’s desk, who has recently moved back to her home region of Skåne after spending a few years in Stockholm. Together with her colleague Henry Calment, she embarks on a journey of cracking the case of the mystery woman – who was she, and who was she running from? ’Birds of Sorrow’ is an exploration of coming home, where the familiarity of everyone knowing everyone belies the hidden secrets beneath the seemingly idyllic surface. 

Birds of Sorrow is published in the Netherlands by HarperCollins.
