Eternal Peace

Autumn has arrived in Hardanger when a woman is found dead in a hiking area on Kvamskogen. A wolverine has scavenged the body, making it difficult to identify the victim. Adding to the mystery, no one has reported her missing. Police chief Bengt Alvsaker and forensic investigator Lerke Ribenholt are both deeply affected by the traumas of their previous case, and Kripos investigator Manuela Nuestro has been brought in as the acting lead. However, Manuela proves to be highly headstrong, and the once harmonious working environment at the Norheimsund police station becomes severely strained.

Soon, another woman is found murdered, this time in the center of Øystese. Bengt and Lerke must hunt down a perpetrator they fear might, in the worst case, be hiding among their own ranks.
