"Copenhagen-based police detectives Jeppe Korner and Anette Werner are on a new case--their deadliest yet--in a thriller from the internationally bestselling author of The Tenant and The Butterfly House."-- Provided by publisher.
"It's a beautiful day in April when fifteen-year-old Oscar Dreyer-Hoff disappears. He never came home from school the previous afternoon and his family is frantic. The police assume he's a runaway - a typically overlooked middle child from a wealthy, prominent family, doing what teenagers do all over the world. But what runaway would leave his parents with these lines, typed on an unsigned piece of paper? 'He looked around and saw the knife that had stabbed Basil Hallward. He had cleaned it many times, till there was no stain left upon it. It was bright and glistened. As it had killed the painter, so it would kill the painter's work, and all that that meant. It would kill the past, and when that was dead, he would be free.' It's not much to go on, but it's all that detectives Jeppe Kørner and Anette Werner have. And with every passing hour, as the odds of finding a missing person grow dimmer, it will have to be enough. In The Harbor, internationally bestselling author Katrine Engberg ups her game with a new novel of breathtaking suspense as she explores the risks of protecting the most vulnerable among us - and seeking, against all odds, to bring them home."-- from book dust jacket.
