The Nordic Murders

Chief Inspector Julia Thiel doesn't know whether a dead man is a murder victim, is an accidental death or has taken his own life. Neither does her mother Karin, but she interferes in the case anyway.

Julia and a Polish colleague team up to investigate a case when the body of a local from Usedom is found in a Polish border town. Karin becomes legal counsel to the chief suspect.

When a cafe employee is kidnapped, one of her friends - an activist against 'abortion tourism' - fears the worst. And the burden of the past bears down on Karin when a gynecologist is found dead.

When Julia investigates a case of near-fatal maritime arson, she finds that the same yacht had been involved in a tragic accident 10 years ago. Has a vengeful survivor returned?

A car that's escaping from the police after an illegal race hits a young man, who dies of his injuries. Karin's car is also hit and overturned, and her passenger vanishes.
