Fargo meets Baywatch in a darkly funny thriller by the international, bestselling King of Helsinki Noir, Antti Tuomainen.
Sex, lies and ill-fitting swimwear ... Sun Protection Factor 100

Jan Nyman, the ace detective of the covert operations unit of the National Central Police, is sent to a sleepy seaside town to investigate a mysterious death. Nyman arrives in the town dominated by a bizarre holiday village - the 'hottest beach in Finland'. The suspect: Olivia Koski, who has only recently returned to her old hometown. The mission: find out what happened, by any means necessary.

With a nod to 'Fargo', and dark noir, 'Palm Beach, Finland' is both a page-turning thriller and a black comedy about lust for money, fleeing dreams and people struggling at turning points in their lives - chasing their fantasies regardless of reason.

"Right up there with the best" TLS

"Deftly plotted, poignant and perceptive in its wry reflections on mortality and very funny" Irish Times

"A roller-coaster read and extraordinarily poignant" Guardian
