Sandbakkels and Sin (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781069143440)

A small-town island hiding big secrets. A desperate call from family. And a murder that hits too close to home.

As a high-level consultant at an investment firm, Cash Kristiansen is used to the isolation of big-city corporate life-and the growing distance from family.

So when his estranged aunt makes a series of desperate calls, urging him to return to Salt Cliff Isle, he reluctantly agrees to visit.

But what was supposed to be a short family visit quickly spirals into a dark mystery when Cash arrives to find the island shaken by a brutal death.

The once peaceful Salt Cliff Isle, a place that had always felt like home, is no longer the tranquil escape he remembers, and even Fjord & Fika patisserie-with its light-filled Nordic interiors and welcoming warmth-feels shadowed by loss.

As Cash becomes entangled in a murder investigation filled with secrets, suspects, and hidden motives, the familiar comforts of home blur into a landscape of deception.

One filled with residents who know more than they let on.

Yet as the aroma of fresh sandbakkels mingles with suspicion, Cash discovers the perfect crime might just be half-baked.

And he holds the secret ingredient to solving it.
