Midnight Sun (2016)

In the remote northern reaches of Sweden, the tranquil facade of Kiruna, a humble mining town, is shattered by the savage murder of a French citizen. This chilling act of brutality lures Kahina Zadi, a seasoned French police officer haunted by her own painful past, into the icy heart of Scandinavia. Teamed with Anders Harnesk, a Swedish District Attorney and a member of the enigmatic Sami, an indigenous tribe steeped in ancient Scandinavian mystery, Kahina embarks on a relentless pursuit of justice. Their investigation, however, proves to be more than a simple murder case. With each unsettling new killing, it becomes evident that the initial act of violence was merely the prelude to a much larger and sinister conspiracy, buried in the town's history for over a decade. The inhabitants of Kiruna, once familiar faces, transform into potential accomplices in this grim orchestration, their secrets as deep and intricate as the mines that define their town. As Kahina and Anders grapple with the escalating horror, the relentless grip of a ruthless serial killer tightens, always a step ahead in his macabre game. The duo must unravel this intricate web of deceit, confronting not only the chilling underbelly of Kiruna but also their own demons, in a high-stakes race against time. The Midnight Sun, ever watchful, casts long shadows over their journey, illuminating a path fraught with danger, mystery, and heart-stopping suspense.
