History Series / Jordskott

Jordskott (literally Earth Shot, a Swedish term for cookie cutter phenomenon) is a 2015 Swedish crime and thriller series with supernatural elements. The story is centered on the police-officer Eva Thörnblad who, seven years ago, [[AdultFear lost her young daughter Josefine near a forest lake]] near Silverhöjd, her town of birth. Despite intense police-investigations, Josefine's body was never found and the general consensus amongst the authorities is that she must have drowned. Eva, however, has been unable to let go, convinced that someone must have taken the girl. When Eva is summoned back to Silverhöjd to hear the testament of her estranged father Johan, a powerful local industrialist, reports come in of another missing child. Convinced that there is a connection between this case and her own daughter's disappearance, Eva starts digging into the numerous mysteries of Silverhöjd while moving into the old family mansion outside town.
