Husum:The whisper of the North Sea

Crime Scene North Sea: Murder on Pellworm. The first thrilling case for Behrens and Winter. On the North Frisian island of Pellworm, the body of a young man is discovered. Diagnosis: cardiac arrest - if it weren't for the strange puncture wound on his neck. When Chief Detective Gabriel Behrens arrives on Pellworm with his special commission, he is initially met with distrust by island police officer Merle Winter: Why has the Attorney General of Schleswig-Holstein intervened and sent his own people? However, both must rely on each other to catch the perpetrator who escaped Behrens many years ago - with dire consequences. The stranger strikes four times within a few days, following the same pattern each time. Time is running out, and the investigators soon realize they are dealing not just with a cunning murderer, but with a web of lies and secrets that looms over the picturesque island. In this first installment of the thrilling coastal crime series by Hannah Husum, Gabriel Behrens and Merle Winter meet for the first time. The chief detective from a special commission with connections to the highest levels and the calm yet relentless North Frisian chief inspector must learn to work together - even outside of regulations and the normal investigative procedures, as their first case demands everything from them.
