A Nordic Noir murder mystery.
In Copenhagen, a man is found draped over a balcony, his head and hands missing. In Brazil, a woman in a posting for a Danish renewables company goes missing. Her pregnant partner is convinced the woman's boss is involved, but no one will listen to her. That same boss finds himself in prison on charges of embezzlement and insider trading.
How are these three cases connected? Martin Bay, the investigating detective in Copenhagen, is assigned to work the case of the headless corpse, but is stunned when he realises the flat where the body is found is familiar to him. Where has he seen it before? And who was desperate enough to commit such a gruesome murder? Martin's always-in-control confidence hides his imposter syndrome. None of Martin's colleagues know he's gay. He's determined to keep it that way, but this case risks exposing his secret. As Martin races to untangle the web of lies, revenge, and power, an innocent face could be hiding a ruthless killer. No one is above suspicion.
