Below Zero

by Venezia Miller

Beneath the surface of the Bothnian Sea, sealed away from sun and shore, the researchers of Helios Deep believed they were safe from the world above. They were wrong.
When the isolation of the underwater station is shattered by violence, Superintendent Isa Lindström is drawn into an investigation unlike any she has faced—one where the walls themselves seem to close in, and every crew member has something to hide. With pressure bearing down from every direction, Isa must determine who among them can be trusted before the darkness claims another life.
Meanwhile, Timo Paikkala's undercover work pulls at threads that reach further than either of them could have imagined, and a woman's body pulled from a quiet corner of Sweden proves to be anything but an isolated tragedy.
As secrets surface faster than the survivors can process them, Isa and Timo find themselves racing against time, pressure, and each other's unspoken truths—because at 50 meters below the waves, there is nowhere left to run.

Below Zero is the bone-chilling eighth installment in The Find series, plunging readers into the crushing isolation of the deep sea, where the cold is the least of anyone's worries.

About the author

Engineer by day, writer by night—that's how I would describe myself. Since childhood, I have been fascinated with how writers can create entire worlds with simple words and draw others into their stories. I remember spending my summer holidays as a teenager reading detective stories and trying to write my own tales in the style of Agatha Christie on an old typewriter (yes, I'm that old!).

In the evenings, I would read my freshly typed pages to my younger sister, always ending on a cliffhanger to keep her longing for more. Those were precious moments. But as I got older and my schedule filled up with a job, husband, and children, there was little time left for writing. Eventually, I realized that all those stories in my head had disappeared.

In 2020, at the start of the Covid pandemic, I decided to reignite my passion for writing and published my first novel, THE FIND, on Amazon. Since then, this has become a full-blown book series.

As a writer, I truly appreciate your feedback and reviews. I am still on a learning curve and can always do better.

I am grateful to all the readers who have taken the time to read my books.

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the series.
