On a warm Autumn afternoon, Tivoli Gardens - Denmark's largest amusement park - is devastated by a terrorist attack. 1,241 people are killed. The unknown bomber is blown to bits; the security forces have no leads. One year later, the nation is still reeling, and those behind the attack are still at large. Amidst the increasingly frustrated police force, Superintendent Lene Jensen is suffering the effects of tragedy closer to home. Everyone is aware the terrorists may soon strike again. Then Lene receives a strange call. A young desperate Muslim woman needs her help, but by the time Lene reaches her she's already dead - supposedly suicide. Already suspicious, Lene's initial investigations suggest that the woman was unknowingly part of a secret services research project. Silenced by her superiors, Lene turns to her old ally Michael Sander to dig deeper. But with even her allies increasingly adamant her actions are a risk to national security, Lene begins to understand that finding the truth might be the most dangerous thing of all.

His job is to find out who they are, and why they were murdered. But this isn't just another case, and these deaths are only one piece of the puzzle. This time Michael is investigating the darkest reaches of humanity, uncovering crimes that reach further than he ever imagined.
A gripping new terrorist thriller from the best-selling Danish crime writer
From the war-torn streets of Odense to the devastated warzone of South Korea, destiny calls... Nurse Molly Dahl wants to escape the trauma of wartime Denmark by joining the hospital ship, Jutlandia, set for the battlefields of Korea. Yun, an eleven-year-old North Korean girl, flees her village which was destroyed by Napalm, seeking sanctuary from the havoc. Both Molly and Yun abandon their pasts, hopeful for a brighter future in South Korea. However, their journey becomes more treacherous than they could ever have anticipated. When their lives converge in the vibrant port city of Pusan, there is an unforeseen intertwining of fates. An inspiring historical drama set in the aftermath of World War II, this tale of resilience, hope, and the indomitable human spirit is sure to captivate readers who were swept away by "The Nightingale" by Kristin Hannah and "Sarah’s Key" by Tatiana de Rosnay."

Jesper Bugge Kold is a Danish journalist and author of historical novels such as "Vintermænd".
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.
