edit data

Carsten Weidmann writes atmospheric crime noir set across the isolated towns, barrens, and coastlines of Newfoundland. His stories explore how weather, memory, and silence shape both people and crimes, and how isolation can protect the guilty as easily as the innocent.

The Butcher of Blackwater Cove is his debut novel and the first book in the Dark Shores series, following Major Crimes investigator Claire Rowan as she confronts cases where the land itself refuses to give up the truth.
