Hiding in Plain Sight is not another war story or celebration of strength-it's a brutally honest account of how thirty years of service as a veteran and first responder slowly dismantled one man's identity, marriage, and sense of self. Doug White opens up about post-traumatic stress injuries, emotional collapse, and the fallout of a life spent serving others while ignoring his own breaking points. But this isn't a story about trauma-it's a story about growth, honesty, and the long road back to being whole.

I 1998 begyndte politiassistent Hans Haahr på Grønland en hemmelig og uofficiel efterforskning af en ung piges død i Nuuk i julen 1997. »Morakker« fører læseren ind i det lukkede grønlandske politisystem og fortæller om dets uskrevne regler og krav og den misforståede loyalitet mellem betjentene, der i dette tilfælde blev prioriteret højere end retfærdighed for en ung piges død. I 2011 vendte han tilbage til Grønland for at se fortiden i øjnene og færdiggøre sin efterforskning af pigens død.

Crime and tragedy run through my bloodline: moonshining, sexual abuse, attempted manslaughter. My father struck deals with the Mexican Cartel and still battles opioid addiction.
