À propos de la quatrième de couverture

'Nerve-shredding page-turner . . . Jacobsen is a master storyteller on a par with Jo Nesbo and Jussi-Adler Olsen' Sunday Express on Trophy

One autumn afternoon, Tivoli Gardens - Denmark's largest amusement park - is devastated by a terrorist attack. The bomber is blown to bits; the security forces have no leads.

One year later, those behind the attack are still at large and could strike again. Working with an increasingly frustrated police force, Superintendent Lene Jensen is suffering the effects of a tragedy closer to home.

Then Lene receives a phone call. A young Muslim woman needs her help, but by the time Lene reaches her she's dead . Lene's initial investigations suggest that the woman was unknowingly part of a secret services research project.

Silenced by her superiors, Lene digs deeper. But with even her allies 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.

'With one of the most atmospheric and terrifying opening chapters I have ever read, Jacobsen delights in ramping up the tension, and exposing the grimmest aspects of the human character' Raven Crime Reads on Trophy
