THE LAST PARADISE

SORT MONSUN—BLACK MONSOON

by Christina Lund

CATHRINE BIRKLUND IS on her way out of a destructive addiction at a Buddhist monastery in Thailand when she receives news that her twin brother has died in an accident at sea. Reluctantly, she returns to her hometown—a cozy little fishing village on the west coast of Jutland, where the local police officer has been sent into early retirement and the residents live behind unlocked doors. However, nothing is as it seems, and Cathrine quickly realizes that Christian’s death is not the only tragedy to have struck the town: the body of a young Asian woman has washed ashore, and no one knows who she is.

CATHRINE SETS OUT to unravel what is going on, but as she begins to scratch beneath the idyllic surface, she is confronted with her past—which she has tried to put behind her throughout her adult life—and she discovers that not everyone is interested in bringing the truth to light.

THE LAST PARADISE IS the second volume in Christina Lund’s critically acclaimed and award-winning series about Cathrine Birklund.
