No one knew Dr Sarah Fordyce was missing, until her husband's mutilated body is discovered in the family home, with a note nailed to his forehead, "Don't believe their lies!!!" Two weeks later, a city councillor disappears, and his murdered wife is found with the same words. Two weeks after that, it's a prominent local journalist who's vanished, his husband's corpse left as a twisted message board and the "Fortnight Killer" is the topic of daily headlines. Angus McVicar has only just made detective constable, and when he's assigned to the Major Inquiry Team hunting Oldcastle's newest serial killer it should be the perfect opportunity to prove himself. Only instead of being out on the front line, breaking the case, he's saddled with babysitting the forensic psychologist from hell, who's determined to drag him into a festering swamp of lies, delusions, and conspiracy theories. It's been twelve days since the Fortnight Killer last struck, and Angus is running out of time. But he's heading into darkness, and there are monsters lurking there.

"It was meant to be a quiet family fishing trip, a chance for mother and daughter to talk. But it changes the course of their lives forever. They catch nothing except a broken doll that gets tangled in the net. After years in the ocean, the doll is a terrifying sight and the mother's first instinct is to throw it back, but she relents when her daughter pleads to keep it. This simple act of kindness proves fatal. That evening, the mother posts a picture of the doll on social media. By the morning, she is dead and the doll has disappeared. Several years later and Detective Huldar is in his least favourite place - on a boat in rough waters, searching for possible human remains. However, identifying the skeleton they find on the seabed proves harder than initially thought, and Huldar must draw on psychologist Freyja's experience to help him. As the mystery of the unidentified body deepens, Huldar is also drawn into an investigation of a homeless drug addict's murder, and Freyja investigates a suspected case of child abuse at a foster care home."--Publisher.
