NÆRMESTE PÅRØRENDE – NEXT OF KIN
by Elsebeth Egholm
From the day journalist Dicte Svendsen receives a film anonymously sent to her in the editorial office of the newspaper, her life will no longer be the same. The film begins with a bestial decapitation which is then followed by other abominations. The police immediately draw parallels to al-Qaeda and suspect that a Muslim terrorist Group has gained a foothold in Denmark. Detective Inspector John Wagner is tasked with investigating what happened before the public understands the extent of it all. Because Denmark is already shaken and if the racial antagonisms grow even stronger, the disaster is not far away.
Elsebeth Egholm is one of Denmark’s most read authors and she has been compared to the great crime authors. Next of Kin is the fourth, independent part in her acclaimed series about the journalist Dicte Svendsen.

REVIEWS
“Egholm sets herself apart from many others because she can write, create and scare.”
Berlingske
“Egholm is on a par with colleagues who regularly storm German bestseller lists – that’s where she belongs! “
NORDIS Magazin, Germany
“No one does it better. She easily takes a seat next to Jussi Adler-Olsen as Denmark’s queen of crime.”
Dagbladenes Bureau
