Produktbeschreibung
What if an entire island believed it was morally superior and was completely wrong?

On Vala, an isolated Nordic island founded by idealists, crime is unthinkable, reality is carefully curated, and truth is whatever the majority agrees upon. When a young girl is murdered, the community reacts not with reason, but with enthusiasm. Someone must be blamed, quickly, and the consequences do not matter.

At the center of the chaos are Emma and Annette Nilsson, two teenage sisters with very different moral compasses. One is quiet, imaginative, and dangerously accommodating. The other is brilliant, cruel, and addicted to control. As the investigation spirals into hysteria, fake television shows, public rituals, and grotesque justice, the sisters become both detectives and perpetrators, playing games whose rules only they seem to understand.

The Secret Island is a dark, satirical novel about innocence as performance, justice as spectacle, and the quiet violence of people who believe they are doing good. Blending absurd humor with chilling detachment, it explores how easily communities sacrifice truth for comfort, and how love can become its own form of cruelty.

Disturbing, funny, and unsettling to the very end, this is a novel for readers who enjoy moral ambiguity and stories that refuse to reassure.

Autorenporträt
Nick Lenoir was raised by wolves after being abandoned in a forest, in Romania. At the age of eight, he was found by a young girl named Emma and her grandmother.

The boy would never know that his two older brothers had been abandoned in the same forest. Unlike him, they didn't survive. A French priest found the children's remains. He insisted on having them buried in a proper cemetery and asked to have three words written on their grave: Les garçons sauvages.
