If the Owl Calls

By Sharon White

Set in 1979 Norway, If the Owl Calls is a mesmerizing literary mystery that masterfully blends historical intrigue, cultural identity, and environmental resistance. As the Sami community fights to protect ancestral lands from the controversial Alta Dam, Oslo detective Hans Sorensen is sent to the far north to investigate a series of sabotage attacks. But when a body is discovered in a remote ravine, what seemed like a political act of defiance spirals into something far more complex--a case that will force Hans to confront his own past, his buried heritage, and the meaning of justice. Hans, who is Sami, has spent his life on the fringes of his culture. Still mourning the recent death of his wife, he is reluctant to return to the land of his childhood. But as he follows the trail of two suspected saboteurs he is pulled into a web of secrets, betrayals, and shifting alliances. Richly atmospheric and deeply evocative, If The Owl Calls is a stunning exploration of identity, loss, and the fight to reclaim one's past.
