The tide is rising, and there’s blood in the water…
DI Jamie Johansson is on loan to the Stockholm Polis when a chilling call for help comes in. The Bolstad B oil platform in the unforgiving Norwegian Sea is in total lockdown. The body of one of the crew was found brutally attacked and then hanged from a crane. And another is missing. But operations cannot stop. The fate of the drilling company hangs by a thread, a crew change is imminent, and tensions are reaching breaking point.
Jamie and her new partner Anders Wiik are flown out to the platform with just five days to solve the crime, and a list of suspects unlike any they’ve dealt with. These people are scared, dangerous, angry, and they’ll do anything to survive. Everyone just wants to go home, but as the switchover draws closer, more of the crew begin to disappear — one, by one, by one… The killer is playing their own twisted game, and Jamie and Wiik are out of their depth.
The platform is a labyrinth, the clock is ticking, and nobody is safe. The badge means nothing when you’re this far from home.
Out here there is no police.
There is no law.
There’s just oil and blood.
And lots of it.

DI Jamie Johansson Book 2
They took everything from her. Now she has nothing left to lose…
With the scars of her last case still fresh on her skin, DI Jamie Johansson is piecing together a puzzle that’s been buried for twenty years. It killed her father, and now she’s determined to finish what he started and expose the corruption threaded through every street of Stockholm.
When a series of violent incidents rock Jamie’s fragile existence in Sweden, she’s faced with a choice — drop the case, or have her loan to Stockholm Police terminated.
Jamie must let go of everything she once believed in, and call in all the favours she can to find a chink in the impenetrable armour of the shadowy Imperium Holdings. They aren’t above extortion, bribery, murder, or anything else. And they don’t like it when people ask questions. Jamie wouldn’t be the first determined detective they’ve silenced, but she may be the last.
From gritty, blood-soaked city streets to desolate and deadly frozen tundras, this case will take Jamie all across Scandinavia in pursuit of the men responsible for shattering her life. They thought they weakened her by prising her from the protection of the Stockholm Police, but really, they just cut the chain around her neck…
Jamie Johansson is out for blood. Old Blood. And she won’t stop until she gets it.

What Readers Are Saying:
"Great book. Kept my attention all the way through. Great suspense and twists. Just read the next book and that is even better. I was gripped by the story all the way through! An author to watch!" - PR Copeman
"What an amazing read, I found it hard to put this book down. The detective Jamie Johansson is complex and intriguing, I can't wait for book 2 to find out more about her. Highly recommend this read." - Lyn F
"This is a new author for me and I wasn't sure initially if I was going to like it, didn't take long before I was hooked. Loved it." - Lynne Haynes
"Got to say I loved this book, felt the female protagonist was great and her partner, while being a right royal pain in the a**e at the beginning was kind of growing on me by the end. The protagonist has a degree of baggage left over from her fractured relationship with her father, an eminent detective in his own right, but not so much that it weighed her down. I felt that in fact it was quite helpful. The story was detailed, engaging and had me desperate to find out the culprit." - Rosie Bray
"within the first chapter I knew 100% that this was going to be a fabulous read. It was expertly written with just the right amount of descriptive details of the characters, the settings and all the action. It was a breath of fresh air the way the main character, Jamie, was developed, she wasn’t a tough perfect female detective trying to constantly prove herself to her male competitors, she had flaws and demons, there were no same-old stereotypes that often appear in detective novels. I am a massive fan of Scandinavia police novels and there was a real feeling of Scandi-noir about this book. All the characters were so well written that they were completely believable. This was a totally no nonsense thriller with intense action, brilliant and believable dialogue and a really addictive pace. I just didn’t want to stop reading and I just flew through it.
