PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Copenhagen detectives Naia Thulin and Mark Hess investigate a series of murders that may be connected to a case from decades earlier in Sveistrup's brilliant sequel to The Chestnut Man. On Valentine's Day 2025, Thulin, now working for Denmark's National Cyber Crimes Unit, is assigned to find a young woman named Silje Thomsen, who has vanished after being been plagued by a stalker who texted her ominous countdowns. Thulin is also troubled by the unsolved murder, two years earlier, of 19-year-old high schooler Caroline Holst. The more Thulin digs into Silje and Caroline's cases, the more they echo a brutal 1992 child murder that Thulin's father was working just before he died of a heart attack. As Sveistrup knits all three cases together, he dives into the personal lives of Thulin, who is neglecting her new lover, Bjørn, in favor of work, and Hess, who has returned to Copenhagen from a Europol assignment in Moldova to help his sick brother. Though Thulin and Hess's relationship has grown complicated since they alienated their boss in the previous book, they team up again to immensely satisfying effect. Brutal, sweeping, and emotionally grounded, this is Scandi noir at its best. Sveistrup proves himself a master of his craft.
