Dark secrets

by Michael Hjorth

It all begins with a call to the police. A 16-year-old boy has gone missing. A search is organized and a group of young scouts makes an awful discovery in a marsh: he is dead. When the Crime Investigation Department asks serial killer expert Sebastian for his help, his arrogant manner at first alienates the rest of the team. Pushing forward, though, they begin to make disturbing discoveries.
