Two of the most popular Norwegian crime authors make a chilling joint debut.

Two of the most beloved Norwegian crime authors join forces in “The Scream” – the dark beginning of a gripping new series. Together, the books by Fjell and Horst have sold over 12 million copies, and the story of Markus Heger promises to be something completely different from anything you have read before.

After finishing his military service, Markus Heger finds peace in his new occupation – traveling around Norway and broadcasting from the studio in his camper van a podcast about real crime cases. Among them is the case of seven-year-old Lea Fosberg, who disappeared without a trace fifteen years ago from the town of Fagernes. Lea's body was never found, but her father was convicted of the murder.

Prompted by the disappearance of another girl, Markus decides to investigate the case more deeply. Information from a reliable source leads him to think that the real culprit of her abduction and death has not been caught. What actually happened fifteen years ago in the forest near the picturesque Norwegian town of Fagernes? Who has an interest in covering up the truth? And how far is he ready to go?

The questions become more, and the answers fewer. While researching, Markus receives a surprising letter from his father. The father who has neglected his son for years, now repentant, offers to ask around what is being said behind bars about the “Lea Forsberg” case. But will the truth bring peace, or are some secrets better left in the shadows of the past?
