A seventeen-year-old girl disappears from a shelter for troubled teenagers. Three months later, she is found dead on a bed of bird feathers, in a pentagram of candles. Investigators Holger Munch and Mia Kruger have no doubt: this is a murder, and very similar to some kind of ritual. While the homicide department is trying to find at least one clue, a mysterious video suddenly falls into the hands of Gabriel Mörck, a young computer scientist from Munch’s team. In the frame - the victim and someone else: the silhouette of a man dressed in the feathers of an owl, the bird of death... The Owl is a gripping new psychological detective story from Samuel Björk, nominated for a Norwegian Booksellers Award.
