The DI Jamie Johansson prequel series follows the detective during her time as a Detective Inspector, with cases set across Scandinavia and Wales. Starting with Bare Skin (2020), the series quickly grew as Morgan Greene published multiple books per year, building out Johansson’s world at an aggressive pace.

The books blend Scandinavian noir atmosphere with Welsh settings, following Johansson as she tracks serial killers and uncovers criminal networks. Later entries like The Mark of the Dead and The Hiss of the Snake move the action to Wales, while maintaining the dark, atmospheric tone that defines the series.
