In the Outskirts, Darkness Thickens

Two years have passed since the murder of Linda Smith. During this time, detective Alan Rasmus left the police and tried to start a new life. However, on the day of his wedding, he receives a strange letter with the address of an unfamiliar woman and a threat: the case is not yet closed.

Two weeks later, the body of Rasmus's friend and former boss, Jakob Skar, is found. There are thirteen wounds on the body, and the mouth is sewn shut with black thread, just like Linda's. The killer has resurfaced to begin the hunt for sinners. And Alan is at the very center of it.

Now the detective will have to return to the police and prevent a series of brutal murders. Before death comes for him.

«In the Outskirts, Darkness Thickens» is a nerve-wracking psychological thriller, where every word is like a cut. This is a story not only about crime but also about the mechanism of memory, pain, and guilt. Returning to the case becomes for the hero not a step toward the truth, but a slow descent into personal hell. Precisely. Harshly. Inexorably.
