Located in the Norwegian countryside, she has an airline tag bearing the words “I am Travelling Alone.” A particular unit in Oslo led by a police investigator Holger Munch is deployed to investigate on the case. His first step in his investigation is to convince Mia Kruger to get back to their squad. Mia is a brilliant investigator who has been living on an island for a period trying to get over her memories. Mia had a troubled past that drove her away from Oslo and went to seek isolation in Hytta, North of Norway. 

From a photo of the crime scene, Mia spots the number”1” written on the young girl’s fingernail. This later reveals to her that six years earlier a young girl was abducted from a maternity ward and was never found again. This brings a new query as to whether the killer had anything to do with the missing child. Mia Krüger goes on a mission to track a ruthless killer who is seeking revenge. With the six-year-old daughter’s disappearance, Mia comes to understand the course of action. This is an interesting story especially when Mia reveals what she thinks might have caused death of the young girl. She therefore urgently comes up with a solution to the crime. The writer Samuel Bjørk records a series of lies intentionally to drive to the motive of the offense. The rush to get a solution makes them not to have a look at each and every detail which was plotted by the killer.

The Owl Hunts at Night (2015)
This book is a follow-up from Samuel Bjork’s first book I am traveling alone. Translated by Charlotte Borland, it picks from where Munch and his crew of investigators left. A young woman is found dead and naked, and the police rush to respond to that issue. What they find in their course of responding is unexpected with the body destroyed so that no forensic evidence is found. The forensic investigations reveal that the body might have been exposed to some ritual objects showing that the body was held for some time before her death. There being no forensic evidence gives the investigators a task to tell what might have caused her death. The murderer has been living in a home for damaged young people. However, there is no proof that he lives there according to the investigations done.

Mia Kruger had officially been signed off work from some assessments done on her based on her health fitness. However, with the occurrence of this death and which needs some investigations done, she is given the task though on an informal basis, and Holger Munch makes this offer. It seems like an almost impossible task to Mia until a young hacker Skunk reveals something that forces them to review the killer’s plan and face the possibility that he might have gone to getting yet another victim. However, the police do not have trust on the young hacker. Munch’s daughter, Miriam also finds herself in a critical situation when she engages in an affair with her partner. She is seen to be satisfied with having her mother to take care of her child. The investigations are faced by several tricks making them a bit hard to conclude and provide the catch of the victim and the solution to finding him.

After a few years later, a woman is murdered and found sprinkled with bird feathers, and this begins to make some connections, and the investigators are faced with yet another task.
