SELVRISIKO / ON MY HEAD

by Elsebeth Egholm

On a freezing cold February night, Dicte Svendsen and her boyfriend Bo wake up to the neighbor’s barn in flames. Together they do everything to save the trapped and panicked horses. That same night, a nearby school catches fire and it is soon established that both fires were started by humans. Soon after, a woman disappears from the area without a trace. When she is later found dead, all indications show that a ritualistic killer is on the move.

Elsebeth Egholm is one of Denmark’s most read authors. “Personal Risk” is the second, independent part in her acclaimed series about the journalist Dicte Svendsen.

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
