A forest hiding a brutal murder. A feather stained with blood. A secret club where erotic games turn lethal. Chief Investigator Katrine Mørk receives an anonymous call that leads her to a crime scene in Gribskov, a vast forest north of Copenhagen. A young woman lies dead, a pelican feather soaked in blood resting on her chest. The setup feels too ordered, too deliberate—as if someone shaped the message for her alone. The trail draws her into Copenhagen’s most exclusive erotic club, a closed world for the city’s rich, powerful, and influential. The closer Katrine moves toward the truth, the more the line between her past and present begins to crumble. The danger is closer than she realizes, and every step forward reveals another layer of deception. Another bloody feather appears. Time is running out—and the killer stays one step ahead. To stop the murders, Katrine must risk everything, including facing the ghosts from her past. She enters the killer’s game knowing that failure will cost her life.
