A seventeen-year-old girl disappears from a shelter for difficult teenagers. Three months later, she is found dead in bed covered with bird feathers, in a pentagram made of candles. Investigators Holger Munk and Mia Krüger have no doubts: it is murder—and one that strongly resembles some kind of ritual. While the homicide unit tries to find even a single clue, a mysterious video suddenly lands in the hands of Gabriel Mørk, a young computer specialist from Munk’s team. In the footage, there is the victim and—someone else: the silhouette of a person dressed in owl feathers, the bird of death... “The Owl” is a new gripping psychological detective story by Samuel Bjørk, nominated for the Norwegian Booksellers’ Union Prize.
