Jackie Kabler, author of The Perfect Couple

In a small town full of secrets, anyone could be a killer.
Detective Kjeld Nygaard wants nothing more than to forget his family and Varsund, the small mining town he once called home, even exist. But while on suspension after his last case went disastrously wrong, his estranged father Stenar leaves a message on Kjeld's phone claiming he's seen a murder.
But with no evidence and Stenar suffering from Alzheimer's, the local police think he must have imagined it. Kjeld can't stop himself from investigating what actually happened, and soon discovers a body. But when the police start to suspect Stenar, it's a race against time to discover the truth before it's lost forever.
But will uncovering the truth expose family secrets that are best left buried?
