So, when part-time blues musician, frustrated home renovator, and full-time private detective Gabriel Præst agrees to investigate the matter because his ex—the one who got away—asked him to, he knew it was a no-win case.But as Gabriel starts to ask questions, his face meets with the fists of Russian gangsters; the Danish prime minister asks him for a favor; and he starts to realize that something may be rotten in the state of Denmark.Wondering if Yousef was framed to heighten the local anti-Muslim sentiment, Gabriel follows a trail back in time to World War II when anti-Semitism was raging in Europe during the German occupation of Denmark. Fearing a nationalistic mindset has resurfaced, Gabriel rolls up the sleeves of his well-cut suit and gets to work. From the cobblestone streets of Copenhagen to the historic Strassen of Berlin where the sounds of the steel-toed boots of marching Nazis still linger, Gabriel finds that some very powerful Danes don’t want him digging into the case—as the secrets he unearths could shake the foundations of Danish identity.Trade Review“[A] superb series launch…. Præst’s pursuit of the truth takes some unexpected directions on the way to the satisfying conclusion.

A fast-paced, emotionally rich, and whip smart read!” — Sonali Dev, author of The Vibrant Years "Philip Marlowe meets Nordic Noir in a jazzy murder mystery that digs up Copenhagen's past Nazi ties in the inescapable context of the country's current refugee policies." — Iben Albinus, internationally bestselling and award-winning author of Damascus “Not your usual ex-cop turn P.I. mystery! Malladi captures the Scandinavian sparseness with powerful dialogue and a true sense of place…. An excellent read!” — Charles Todd, New York Times bestselling author of the Ian Rutledge and the Bess Crawford mystery series “Past and present collide in this tense Nordic thriller….

I understood and cared about these people. In this imaginative tale about families who reacted to a true historical event, I wanted to know what happened next. A jewel!

And I can see twelve year old Harry, and all those villagers and their struggles. It's powerful. I found myself close to tears when I read it and smiling too. A wonderful book!
