Spring Tide Penguin

In the dead of night on a beach on Nordkoster, Sweden, a young boy, hidden in the dunes, watches as three men bury a woman up to her neck in sand. Screaming in terror, the victim takes her last breath as water fills her nose and mouth - in her stomach, she feels her baby kick. And her waters break. Twenty-four years later, as a fresh crime wave sweeps Stockholm, young police student Olivia Ronning is examining cold cases and selects the still-unsolved beach crime for her next project. Little does she know the danger she faces and the ugly truths she risks uncovering. First in a series by critically acclaimed scriptwriters Cilia and Rolf Borjlind, whose television credits include twenty-six Martin Beck films, the Swedish adaptation of Wallander and TV series Arne Dahl.
