When a six-year-old girl is found dead, hanging from a tree, the only clue the Oslo Police have to work with is an airline tag around her neck. It reads ‘I’m travelling alone’.


Holger Munch, veteran police investigator, is immediately charged with re-assembling his homicide unit. But to complete the team, he must convince his erstwhile partner, Mia Krüger – a brilliant but troubled investigator – to return from the solitary island where she has retreated with plans to take her own life.


Reviewing the evidence, Mia identifies something no one else has noticed – a thin line carved into the dead girl’s fingernail: the number 1. Instinctively, she knows that this is only the beginning. To save other children from the same fate, she must find a way to cast aside her own demons and confront the most terrifying, cold-hearted serial killer of her career…

Critic reviews

Terrific . . . Intelligent and gripping . . . May well propel [Bjork] to deserved international fame
Samuel Bjork’s formidable I’m Travelling Alone is despatched with real élan . . . Mia’s confrontation with both her own demons and a very human one is mesmerising fare
A compelling novel, with plenty of intrigue and some splendid action sequences
Perfect for fans of Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole series and Danish crime drama The Bridge
Tense, thrilling and genuinely scary *****
A tense and smartly constructed narrative
The story is exciting, the setting cleverly evoked, the translation excellent . . . Welcome to a new voice.
Icy landscapes, mysterious clues, a messed up heroine . . . Nordic noir at its delicious best (Sarah Hilary, author of Someone Else's Skin)
If this is a debut novel, then it is something of a literary sensation
One is tempted to call it a textbook on the modern crime novel. This is how it should be done
All stars

Samuel Bjork's book was a very pleasant surprise. He fits well among other Nordic writers. Not as dark as Nesbø, but similar elements. Maybe the characters could have more angles to them: good tended to be too good and vice versa. Anyhow, I would definately recommend this to those who like the Nordic genre.
