THE GIRL IN THE PHOTO
Heidi Amsinck
When ninety-year-old Irene Valborg is found brutally murdered in an affluent suburb of Copenhagen, her diamond necklace missing, it looks like a burglary gone wrong. As two more victims are attacked, the police lament a rise in violence against the elderly, but who is the young girl in the photo found at the crime scenes?
Impatient to claim her inheritance, Irene’s daughter hires reporter Jensen and her teenage apprentice Gustav to find the necklace.
DI Henrik Jungersen finds himself once more pitched against Jensen in a quest for the truth – the one woman in Copenhagen he is desperate to avoid.
