Her debut novel All the King’s Men was published in May 2020 and immediately gained an enormous amount of attention from the Finnish media and becoming an immediate bestseller in Finland, reaching over 15.000 copies sold in all formats. All the King’s Men has been to-date sold in 12 territories and an international TV series is in development.

Is evil lurking beneath the calm waters? Still Waters Run Deep is an awaited sequel to the bestselling All the Kings Men!

Three young men are making a documentary film about a mystical hermit, living in the Isle of Sheep in Helsinki. First one of them disappears, then another one. When one of them is found dead in the nearby nature reserve, the police becomes involved. Journalist Saana Havas, recovering from burnout, hears that her colleague’s younger brother has gone missing and decides to set up a true crime podcast to help with the search. Meanwhile, police commissioner Jan Leino and his team are investigating the disappearance and possible murder of the documentary makers.

What if some of these disappearances are not accidents or suicides? What if there is someone who is responsible for all of these?
