The Missing: A Scandinavian missing persons thriller

Every city has its ghosts. Ravn just hunts the ones that still breathe.

Former investigator, Thomas Ravnsholdt--known as Ravn--drifts like wreckage along Copenhagen's harbour, numbed by cheap liquor and old wounds. But his peace is shattered when a desperate young woman shows up, pleading for help: her brother has vanished after stealing millions.

The trail leads Ravn from the windy docks of Copenhagen to Berlin, where ghosts of the Cold War still linger: Stasi files, double agents, and brutality that never truly came to an end. Ravn soon realises that the missing is not merely lost, but ensnared in a deadly web.

Dark and unnerving, The Missing blends a classic disappearance mystery with Nordic Noir slow-burning tension. Perfect for fans of Jo Nesbø's and Jussi Adler-Olsen's haunted detectives.
