Description
Snow Fall, by Jørn Lier Horst, features DCI William Wisting, hero of the hit BBC Four series, as he is drawn into a case that will lead him into the murky world of the dark web in pursuit of a killer.
When the body of an Australian backpacker is found in Spain, a global online group of amateur sleuths becomes active, attempting to solve the mystery of her death. Leading the charge on the message boards is Astria, a young Norwegian woman whose fervent investigation brings her closer than anyone else to uncovering the truth.
However, just as Astria claims to be on the verge of solving the case, she mysteriously goes offline. No one in the group has heard from her since.
William Wisting is dispatched to investigate, finding himself thrust into a world of unorthodox methods, amateur detectives, and a perilous case where nothing is what it seems...
