Silent As The Grave

Maria Adolfsson

The 7th instalment in the internationally bestselling and award-winning crime series about Karen Eiken Friis.

Karen, Leo and Selma are on Noorö to celebrate midsummer with the family. After a phone call from the police station, Karen sees her chance to get a break from the stressful interaction with the relatives and promises to help the local colleagues following a disappearance.

At the same time, Karen’s sister, the journalist Helena, has started digging into something that leads to her being exposed to a threat. If she doesn’t keep quiet about what she’s discovered so far, she’s going to get hurt. Only with help from Karen can she gather enough evidence to eliminate the threat, and to succeed they must leave Doggerland and travel to Stockholm, Sweden.

This is the first time we leave the Doggerland Islands, when Karen’s skills are tested to the fullest.

SILENT AS THE GRAVE is the seventh book in the series featuring Detective Karen Eiken Hornby (later Friis) within the unique setting of Maria Adolfsson’s imaginary Doggerland islands, featuring its own local language, geography, and cultural traditions with roots in Britain and Scandinavia—the ideal setting for a Nordic Noir series with a twist.

The first book in the series, FATAL ISLES, has won the prestigeous Petrona Awards in the UK, and the series has sold over 830,000 copies and counting.
