A dead man in a haunted forest. A tape that shouldn't exist. A guesthouse with secrets.

When Danish biologist Casper Vitanen is found dead in Japan's most notorious forest, Lieutenant Detective Daniel Trokic is dispatched to investigate. The local police have already ruled it a suicide -- but an anonymous letter to the victim's father claims that an audio recording from a bird station in the forest tells a different story.

Casper had been working on a pharmaceutical research project deep in the forest, staying with four colleagues at the secluded guesthouse Green Planet. This is where Trokic begins his investigation. But navigating Japanese culture proves difficult. No one wants to speak openly -- not even the police. And the deeper he digs, the more he senses that the people at Green Planet are hiding something.

Dark, atmospheric, and razor-sharp, this Nordic noir with a Japanese twist will keep you awake all night.
