1990. Under the glow of a full moon, a sadistic murder is committed on Nordkoster Island – a young pregnant woman is buried in the sand, so that she slowly drowns as the tide rises.
25 years later, the case remains unsolved. Olivia Rönning is assigned the case to work on, as cold-case training at the Police Academy. Olivia becomes obsessed with the murder when she discovers that her father, who died several years ago, worked on the original investigation. She soon realises that she has to find the lead investigator, detective Tom Stilton. There’s only one problem - he has disappeared off the face of the earth.
Tom Stilton is homeless now and does not want to be reminded of his old life or an old, unsolved case - he has a hard enough time just surviving. Horrifying videos start showing up online, in which homeless people are brutally assaulted. When Stilton’s friends are attacked, he decides to get revenge.
Olivia and Stilton’s paths cross through Olivia’s tenacious efforts to solve the case. She tries to get Stilton to help her, but he isn’t very interested. This is the beginning of a very odd friendship, and together they come closer and closer to solving the Beach Case - but what they discover has unimaginable consequences for Olivia.
