Klappentext As plans are made for a controversial Iranian author to make a rare public appearance in Copenhagen, three separate and lonely lives suddenly find themselves on a collision course. Lise, a successful arts journalist trying to smooth over the cracks in a failed marriage; Per, a crack memeber of Denmark's secret service, a lone wolf; and Vuk, a highly skilled political assassin who has lost everything in the bloody collapse of the former Yugoslavia. Trapped in a world of secret deals and private passions, organized crime and uncontrolled media frenzy, Lise, Per, and Vuk struggle to confront a tainted past, a compromised present, and an extremely uncertain future. One man protects an author, while another signs up for murder. Translated from the Danish by Barbara J. Haveland. Zusammenfassung From its terse beginnings to its unnerving, blood-splattered climax, Leif Davidsen has written a taut political thriller that will not only entertain and enlighten but chill to the bone.
