The Song Birds

***Large Print Edition***

"A gripping modern thriller with the twist of one hundred years of history."

Johanna, a Finnish scientist living in Tallinn, is so career-driven that it's left her alone and single. Arto, an older man, travels to Estonia to experience his first Song Festival, his life in tatters, his prejudices ever present. Anna, a young Estonian, has no experience of her homeland's dark legacy and oppression but carries these feelings, passed down to her from her grandmother. And Kalju, a man who feels life has passed him by.

Four Random Strangers.

On the first night of the 27th Estonian Song Festival, an unknown terrorist detonates a hybrid smart-bomb which, for five dreadful seconds, rips a ten-foot hole in the sky above a section of the vast crowd.

Many Broken Lives.

If anybody had been looking up at the blinding light which seemed to separate matter from substance, they would have seen people getting sucked in.

One Callous Act.

Can they find their way home again, or are these Song Birds forever lost to the past?

From an International Bestselling author, comes a retelling of the tragic history of his current homeland.
