After nineteen years in the Armed Forces’ secret service, Isak Hammer reluctantly returns home to the stately, but dilapidated chalet-style hotel by the Hardangerfjord where he grew up. His mother has died, the hotel is falling into ruin – and a greedy fish farming baron is ready to buy the property.

Isak would prefer to go straight back to the army, but when his best friend Karin disappears without a trace after his mother’s funeral, he starts searching – together with his faithful dog, Mehren.

The clues lead him into a dark fjord landscape where money has taken over from democracy. And in the depths of a darkened silo, a discovery awaits that reveals that someone has sinister plans for the small West Coast village.

The Lady of the Woods is the first book in the Isak Hammer series – a dark and compelling tale of guilt, revenge and what never lets go.

Book 2 of the series is scheduled for spring/summer 2027.
