What you need to know before your trail

Former chief of police, Ubbo Heide, is enjoying a peaceful seaside retirement – until a gruesome package containing a severed head turns up on his doorstep and catapults him back into a world he left behind.

When a torso is found on the local beach, it’s assumed it’s from the same victim. That is until a second head turns up. As the investigation reaches fever pitch, Chief Inspector Ann Kathrin Klaasen, now assigned to the case, realises that the two victims are connected. Soon it’s clear that this quiet coastal community is facing a brutal serial killer. One who is taking justice into his own hands . .

Travel Guide

Travel to the Frisian islands BookTrail style

The Frisian Islands, also known as the Wadden Islands or the Wadden Sea Islands, form an archipelago at the eastern edge of the North Sea in northwestern Europe, stretching from the northwest of the Netherlands through Germany to the west of Denmark.

The Dutch West Frisian and the German East Frisian Islands are barrier islands. Apt as there are plenty of barriers to the police investigation. Being on an island gives a sense of claustrophobia and the sense of entrapment which always works well in a crime novel!
