THE MESSENGER

BUDBRINGEREN – THE MESSENGER

By Elsebeth Egholm

THE NEW PAGE-TURNER BY THE DANISH MASTER OF ROMANTIC SUSPENSE

WHEN HER TWIN brother Rasmus dies under suspicious circumstances, Anna, living and working abroad, finds her world shattered. On the train ride home, she crosses paths with Samuel, Rasmus’ childhood friend and her own teenage crush, who disappeared without a trace twenty-four years ago.

ANNA IS DRAWN to Samuel once more, despite her reservations and the fact that she’s pregnant by her English boyfriend, Henry. Her NGO job is also hanging by a thread, adding to the chaos. Amidst this turmoil, she can’t escape the guilt of Rasmus’ death, feeling she should have been there for her mentally vulnerable twin. Amidst the grief and the reunion with Samuel, Anna and Samuel begin to question the suicide: Why did Rasmus buy three liters of milk the same evening he died? And what is he trying to tell Anna when she hears his voice in the rustling leaves and whispering trees at the family sawmill?

IN A STORY brimming with suspense and emotional complexity, Anna must navigate a web of secrets and lies to uncover the truth behind her brother’s death, even as her own life spins out of control.

JUST LIKE As The Night Knows The Stars and The Red Birds, The Messenger is a stand-alone novel that keeps you on the edge of your seat.
