Silent Scream - A Nordic Non-Noir

Alex slips off her headphones and savors the sensation of standing still in the silence while the crowd continues to dance. Whip-smart but scattered, Alex, an anthropology PhD student, has finally secured funding to conduct her dream field research on sound and attention at Oslo's hot new silent disco. The night heats up further when a handsome stranger beckons to her from across the dance floor. She follows him in hopes of securing a little warmth in Norway's cold climate. Instead, she finds herself stumbling over his body -- going from student to murder suspect -- and channeling Ms. Marple as much as Margaret Meade. With the Norwegian police closing in, border controls tightening, and her funding in danger, Alex is left stranded in a country where every puzzle piece is slightly out of place. Alex's dyslexia and ADHD may make it difficult for her to read and learn Norwegian, but they also lend her an uncanny ability to read people - which is exactly how she will place every puzzle piece back where it belongs, as she navigates the sharp edges of the frosty Fjord in an attempt to free herself and return home.
