In this chilling Nordic noir thriller set in Copenhagen, detectives Jeppe K rner and Anette Werner investigate a series of brutal murders tied to a hospital, blending psychological suspense, police procedural, and dark social commentary in this sequel to the #1 international bestseller The Tenant that is brimming with personality, eccentric characters, and plenty of mystery and intrigue (Crime by the Book).

Hospitals are places of care--or so it seems. In the coronary unit of a leading Copenhagen hospital, a nurse quietly administers a fatal overdose to an elderly patient.

Days earlier, a paperboy makes a gruesome discovery in the heart of the city: the nude body of a young woman in a fountain, her arms marked by precise incisions, her body completely drained of blood.

Detective Jeppe K rner, navigating the aftermath of divorce and a fragile new relationship, takes the lead. His partner, Anette Werner--on maternity leave but unwilling to stay sidelined--begins her own unofficial investigation. But working outside the system draws her into increasingly dangerous territory.

As the case unfolds, Jeppe and Anette uncover a horrifying pattern of exploitation and control lurking within caregiving institutions. What they find is as unsettling as it is deadly--and far closer than they ever imagined.

A thrillingly nerve-racking (Shelf Awareness) Scandinavian crime novel, this gripping installment delivers a dark, atmospheric mystery exploring power, vulnerability, and the chilling consequences of misplaced trust.
