‘The author’s finest work’ SUN, PICK OF THE WEEK

Matilde Clausen, 9, vanishes from a crowded playground in the middle of Copenhagen, triggering a frantic search across the city. When a possible link emerges to the disappearance of Lea Høgh, 10, six years ago, DI Henrik Jungersen is thrown back into the nightmare that almost finished his career. Desperate for redemption, but barred from reopening the old case, Henrik turns to his estranged lover, Dagbladet chief crime reporter Jensen, for help.

As the investigation reaches deep into Denmark’s underworld, how will Henrik, Jensen, and her troubled teenage apprentice Gustav escape the darkness that threatens to engulf them, in time to solve the mystery? What really happened to Lea? And where on earth is Matilde?

I binge listened to this! A moving story and wonderfully read. Gripping and worrying to the very last. Amsinck takes relevant and meaningful contemporary issues and makes them frighteningly every day. Detective and hack mission to work together to find a missing child with twists and turns to the very end. This can be listened to as a stand alone or part of Amsinck’s wonderful series.

Gripping story of suspense and contemporary realism brilliantly narrated.

This is a sensational ride and keeps you on your toes all the way through it. It has been a joy to revisit with the characters from the previous books and have the familiarity but also still learning about them. Will be impatiently waiting for the next!
