But she has a secret: Mossmarken was once her home, a place where terrible things happened. She has returned at last, determined to confront her childhood trauma and find out the truth.\n\n\n\nSoon after her arrival, she finds an unconscious man out on the marsh, his pockets filled with gold--just like the ancient human sacrifices. A grave is dug in the mire, which vanishes a day after. And as the police investigate, the bodies start to surface...\n\n\n\nIs the mire calling out for sacrifices, as the superstitious locals claim? Or is it an all-too-human evil?\n\n\n\n\u003cb\u003eRichly atmospheric and haunting to the last page, Susanne Jansson's stunning debut is a gripping tale of the power of nature to shape our reality, the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of the world, and the terrible consequences they may have. This international sensation will captivate fans of the celebrated suspense fiction of Jane Harper or Tana French.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Central Publishing, 2020","offers":[{"title":"The Forbidden Place \/ Very Good","offer_id":55920416686372,"sku":"9781538713044VG","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_db188c6f-6e32-40e7-bf0a-f6426f3f49cd.jpg?v=1785083187","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9781538713044","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
