The House That Jack Built
Detective Lars Winkler is assigned the case of a serial murderer in Copenhagen while struggling to get his life back together after his wife leaves him and their daughter.
The Scream of the Butterfly
The mayor of Copenhagen is found murdered in his luxury apartment. Detective Lars Winkler is put on this sensitive case, which is further complicated by the fact that the victim's mother is the leader of the country's most radical political party and the current minister of finance. Lars notices the minister and her husband are strangely untouched by their son's death. When he begins to dig into the mayor's past, he slowly uncovers the dark story of a young, idealistic man who had only one wish: to free himself of his family and live his own life. Dark and chilling, The Scream of the Butterfly is Scandinavian crime at its best.
Encyclopedia of Nordic Crime Fiction
Since the late 1960s, the novels of Sjowall and Wahloo's Martin Beck detective series, along with the works of Henning Mankell, Hakan Nesser and Stieg Larsson, have sparked an explosion of Nordic crime fiction--grim police procedurals treating urgent sociopolitical issues affecting the contemporary world. Steeped in noir techniques and viewpoints, many of these novels are reaching international audiences through film and television adaptations. This reference guide introduces the world of Nordic crime fiction to English-speaking readers. Caught between the demands of conscience and societal strictures, the detectives in these stories--like the heroes of Norse mythology--know that they and their world must perish, but fight on regardless of cost. At a time of bleak eventualities, Nordic crime fiction interprets the bitter end as a celebration of the indomitable human spirit.

Krvavý vítr
Dánský detektivní bestseller 2013 První díl trilogie o Larsi Winklerovi: samotáři, otci, bývalém pankáčovi – a jednom z nejlepších policejních vyšetřovatelů v Kodani. Krvavý vítr je detektivka z kodaňských ulic o rodině a zlu. A také příběh o tom, jak se z člověka stává vrah. Během německé okupace pečuje mladá dívka o zraněného anglického pilota v utajeném sklepě. Zamilují se do sebe, ale jejich vztah bude mít fatální následky, jež se plně projeví až v současnosti, kdy morbidní vraždy otřesou Kodaní. Na ostrově Amager je nalezena zavražděná žena. Tělo je neporušené, ale oči má vyloupnuté s chirurgickou přesností. Kodaňský policista Lars Winkler se chopí případu. Brzy se objeví další znetvořené tělo. Vypátrat vraha není jediným Larsovým úkolem: opustila ho manželka, dospívající dcera Marie revoltuje a jeho nepřátelé na oddělení ho bedlivě střeží. Larsova minulost, která je mezi policisty už dlouho veřejným tajemstvím, ho dohání. Ohlasy Krimiromán se vším všudy – atmosférou i napětím. Ekstra Bladet ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ Berlingske ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ Femina
