Before the Storm - Intrigue and peril in a remote coastal haven

From Danish crime master Michael Katz Krefeld comes a gripping Nordic noir.

In the eye of the storm, truth is her only anchor...

Dr Maja Holm seeks solace in a desolate Norwegian coastal town, fleeing a turbulent past. But as her gruelling work hours and self-medication take their toll, she teeters on the edge.

When a patient's mysterious death raises suspicions, Maja's intuition sparks a daring alliance with local TV journalist Stig Norland. Together, they plunge into the town's secrets, racing against the impending polar storm.

But as Maja peels back the layers of the town’s dark façade, one question looms: will exposing the truth cost her everything—including her life?
