OUT OF THE DARK (OUT OF THE DARK)
Heidi Amsinck
The disappearance of two children, six years apart, triggers a frantic search. Jensen and ex-lover Jungersen are thrown together as they navigate the seedy world of child-trafficking.
When nine-year-old Matilde Clausen vanishes from a crowded playground in the middle of Copenhagen, it triggers a frantic search across the city. When a possible link emerges to the disappearance of ten-year-old Lea Høgh, six years earlier, 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 chief crime reporter Jensen at Dagbladet, for help. In denial about a big change approaching in her personal life, Jensen throws herself into an investigation reaching deep into Denmark’s paedophile underworld.
Will Henrik, Jensen and her troubled teenage apprentice Gustav manage to escape the darkness that threatens to engulf them, in time to solve the mystery? What really happened to Lea? And where is Matilde?
