The discovery of a decades-old murder leads DI Benito to a killer who's ready to strike again in this Danish crime thriller now available in English.
In the swamp outside a small Danish village, two young boys make a gruesome discovery. Just below the surface of the water floats a corpse-now reduced to skin and bones. Twenty-five years ago, someone murdered this unfortunate woman. Now, Detective Inspector Roland Benito and his colleagues must use what scant evidence they have to identify the victim and track down her killer.
At the Daily News, reporter Anne Larsen is working feverishly to find information on the body in the bog. Suddenly, the phone rings. The anonymous caller claims to know something important about the matter-and he's sure the killer isn't finished. The only question is when the next victim will fall . . .
