Pitch

A political figure has been killed in Copenhagen. The new detective duo Mikael Dirk and Frederik Dahlin are on the case, while Maria Just, who works for the Police Museum has key information about a symbol carved into the victim’s body. Maria helps Dirk and Dahlin connect the case to a murder in 1968, another in 1977, enabling the team to solve a series of murders and bring two killers to justice.

Comments

This is unusual and exciting. This has a good mystery, a strong political angle and plenty of intrigue, as well as a broad cast of moving parts.

Debut.

Pitched for readers of Camilla Läckberg, Mari Jungstedt and
Liza Marklund.

Stine Bolther and Line Holm are writers and journalists.

Summary

On a cold January morning the controversial General Secretary of the Red Cross is found crucified outside the office building in central Copenhagen. The two detectives, Dirk and Dahlin are called to the scene and embark on a complicated investigation.

Only a few hundred meters away, historian Maria Just is in the process of preparing a new exhibition at the Police Museum, when she discovers a possible connection between the murder of the General Secretary and an unsolved double murder dating back to 1968.

Slowly but surely, as the jigsaw is being assembled, the trio finds that the case has clear links to some of the country’s most powerful people and to a very shameful chapter in Danish history. A chapter that someone found was so dark it had to be revenged.
