Kriminalkommissær Rowan Jackman står over for sin måske mest personlige sag til dato, da hans svigerinde Sarah forsvinder. Hendes lig bliver fundet i London, hvor hun har taget sit eget liv ved at kaste sig i Themsen. Hun var en kvinde med et tilsyneladende lykkeligt familieliv og to elskede sønner, så hvad i alverden har drevet hende til dette drastiske skridt? Jackman og hans makker, kriminalassistent Marie Evans, giver sig til at grave i Sarahs liv. Og Jackman indser, at han næsten intet vidste om sin svigerindes fortid. Under arbejdet støder de på en sag om en kvinde i en nabolandsby, der minder meget om sagen om Sarah. Hvad er forbindelsen mellem de to kvinder? Og er der i virkeligheden en syg person, der står bag, som driver uskyldige mennesker til selvmord?

Mit budskab til jer lyder som følger: Greenborough i Mørke vil være et overmåde farligt sted i år. Vær på vagt, for jeg vil vandre rundt iblandt jer, selvom I ikke kan se mig.Mors certa – hora incerta. Folk strømmer til Greenborough for at deltage i den årlige mørkefestival, en tredages begivenhed, der fejrer lokal overtro og livets mørkesider. Hvad festivaldeltagerne og resten af byen dog ikke ved, er, at der er blevet sendt en advarsel til politiet om, at Greenborough i år vil være et meget farligt sted at opholde sig under festivalen. Det anonyme brev slutter med de latinske ord: Mors certa, hora incerta. Døden er sikker, dens time uvis. Kriminalkommissær Nikki Galena og hendes hold erfarer hurtigt, at trusselbrevet taler sandt, da de står med flere urovækkende dødsfald, der lader til at skyldes forgiftet alkohol. Og derefter eskalerer sagen hurtigt: Da flere uskyldige mennesker uden forbindelse til hinanden dør, og nye makabre drabsmetoder bliver taget i brug, indser Nikki, at der er en ondsindet og uforudsigelig seriemorder løs i den feststemte provinsby. MØRKE OVER MARSKEN er tiende bind i Nikki Galena-serien, der foregår i den fiktive by Greenborough i området The Fens nord for Cambridge, et stort, fladt marskområde, kendt for sine hyggelige småbyer, hvor alle kender alle, og for den tætte tåge, der pludselig kan lægge sig over landskabet.

He is extremely smart and has a knack for bringing out the best in his diverse team. DS Marie Evans is haunted by the loss of her husband in a motorbike accident, but has begun to find happiness again in a new relationship. She is fiercely loyal to her friends and colleagues. THE SETTING England's rural fenland is a strange place, with its never-ending fields, winding tracks, and long straight droves (the old livestock routes) that lead to nowhere. The lonely lanes are flanked either side by deep drainage ditches and are, for a good part of the year, filled with tall, whispering reeds. Closer to the Wash, high seabanks form a barrier between river and marsh, and the richly fertile soil of the drained land. But when the mists come down, as they so often do, perspective is destroyed and all sense of direction lost, and then the fens become a rather frightening place of mystery and danger.

Efterforskeren Carter McLean er på vej på polterabendtur sammen med sine fire venner, da deres fly styrter ned. Han er den eneste, der overlever.McLean vender hurtigt tilbage til arbejdet i kriminalkommissær Rowan Jackman og kriminalassistent Marie Evans’ efterforskningsteam, men uanset hvor meget han fordyber sig i den blodige forsvindingssag, de er blevet sat på, kan han ikke undslippe sin altoverskyggende skyldfølelse og sine frygtelige flashbacks til ulykken.McLean gør, hvad han kan, for at holde sammen på sig selv, og i et forsøg på at ære sine venners minde sætter han sig for at gøre en ting for hver af dem, som de aldrig selv nåede at gøre. En ting, som de hver især drømte om.Efterforskningen viser sig at blive mere og mere personlig for McLean, og Jackman og Evans begynder at frygte, at deres kollega og ven er på vej ud på et overdrev, som risikerer at sætte hans liv og hele deres efterforskning over styr.

En brandstifter er begyndt at påsætte vilkårlige brande i kriminalkommisær Nikki Galenas distrikt. Greenboroughs befolkning må magtesløse se til, mens deres hjem og forretninger bliver fortæret af flammerne, og snart kræver ilden sit første menneskeoffer. Med hjælp fra den pensionerede brandefterforsker John Carson, konkluderer Nikki Galena og hendes hold, at der ikke er tale om en brandulykke, men en mordbrand, og der går da heller ikke længe, før brandmorderen slår til igen. Holdet kulegraver sagen, men der er tilsyneladende ingen forbindelse mellem ofrene, og de har alle levet pletfrie liv. Samtidig er en satanistisk gruppe, anført af en karismatisk lokal forretningsmand, begyndt at skabe uro i byen med dereshemmelige sammenkomster og tatoverede ildsymboler. Hvem er det, der ønsker at se lokalområdet bryde ud i lyslue, og kan Nikki stoppe dem, før flere dør? MARSKEN BRÆNDER er niende bind i Nikki Galena-serien, der foregår i den fiktive by Greenborough i området TheFens nord for Cambridge, et stort, fladt marskområde kendt for sine hyggelige småbyer, hvor alle kender alle, og for den tætte hvide tåge, der har det med pludselig at lægge sig over landskabet.

Kriminalkommissær Nikki Galena modtager en række urovækkende opkald, der alle har ét tilfælles: En ukendt stemme oplyser, hvor, hvornår og hvem der næste gang kommer til at dø. Oplysningerne gives dog på et kodesprog, der gør hvert eneste opkald til startskuddet på et kapløb med tiden, hvis koden skal knækkes, før det næste mord bliver begået. Heldet er med Nikki og hendes hold, da et mønster begynder at tegne sig i de ofre, der udpeges, og de får mistanke om, at der kan være en forbindelse til den epidemi af nøje tilrettelagte indbrud, som de samtidig efterforsker. Sideløbende med de to efterforskninger, beder Nikkis mor, Eve, hende om hjælp til at opklare sine to veninders pludselige dødsfald. Nikki prøver at bruge sine politiforbindelser til at undersøge sagen nærmere, men løber hurtigt panden mod en mur. De to kvinder var begge Eves tidligere kolleger i Forsvarsministeriet, så hvad betyder det for hendes sikkerhed?

Kriminalkommissær Nikki Galena og hendes folk efterforsker et brutalt mord på den lokale forretningskvinde Madeline Prospero. Afdøde var medlem af en eksklusiv og yderst diskret netværksklub for kvinder, men politiet har ingen mistænkte, og ingen i hverken lokalområdet eller klubben lader til at fortælle dem hele sandheden. Nikki er ikke kommet langt med efterforskningen, da hun og hendes kolleger bliver sendt ud for at tale med en præst, der har gjort et ubehageligt fund under renoveringen af sin kirke. Et skelet er dukket op et sted på kirkegården, hvor der ikke burde ligge nogen grav, og de tekniske undersøgelser konkluderer hurtigt, at ikke blot har det ligget der i flere årtier, der er også tale om et mordoffer. Det nyopgravede skelet fører dem imidlertid til den afsides landsby Quintin Eaudyke – et sted med en dyster fortid. Godt tredive år tidligere fik en bølge af uopklarede overgreb på områdets børn landsbyboerne til at vende sig imod hinanden, og til sidst forsvandt en far og dernæst hans datter. Men heller ikke Quintin Eaudykes indbyggere er meget for at afsløre deres hemmeligheder for politiet, så det er op til Nikki at vinde deres tillid, før det måske er for sent. BEGRAVET PÅ MARSKEN er syvende bind i Nikki Galena-serien, der foregår i den fiktive by Greenborough i området The Fens nord for Cambridge, et stort, fladt marskområde kendt for sine hyggelige småbyer, hvor alle kender alle, og for den tætte hvide tåge, der har det med pludselig at lægge sig over landskabet.

To piger tager til en fest, men den ene forsvinder, og den anden bliver fundet vandrende rundt ude i marsken. Nogen har drugged og banket hende, og det er ikke til at sige, om hun kommer til at overleve. Derudover påstår hun, at hun så sin veninde, Emily, blive slæbt væk fra festen af nogle ukendte mænd. Men ingen ved, hvem Emily er, eller om hun stadig er i live ... Samtidig bliver liget af en anden slemt tilredt teenagepige fundet skyllet op på en afsidesliggende strand, og kriminalkommissær Rowan Jackman og kriminalassistent Marie Evans får et tip fra en nabopolitistation om en gruppe mænd, der lokker de lokale unge til lyssky fester i forladte bygninger rundtomkring i området med løfter om al den gratis sprut, de kan drikke. Makkerparret gør alt, hvad der står i deres magt, for at finde ud af, hvem der står bag bortførelserne af de unge piger, og ransager under efterforskningen et gammelt nedlagt hospital, der viser sig at gemme på endnu flere mørke hemmeligheder end først ventet.
