What you need to know before your trail

When fifteen-year-old Oscar Dreyer-Hoff disappears, it’s assumed he’s another teenage runaway – an overlooked middle child who will turn up within 24 hours.

But as the hours, and then days, tick by and the family become more frantic, Detectives Jeppe Kørner and Anette Werner begin to dig deeper into Oscar’s life.

Who has been sending the family malicious notes? What secrets is Oscar’s best friend keeping? And what’s really going on down at the harbour?

With every passing hour and little evidence, the odds of finding a missing person grow dimmer and dimmer in Kørner and Werner’s toughest case yet.

Travel Guide

Copenhagen Harbour

The Copenhagen setting is not only placed right on the cover, but it is very much a character in the novel itself. The atmospheric descriptions, the weather, the streets which always seem tolead back to it are very well evoked. you really get a good tour around the city and the harbour area in particular. Even the little mermaid opens chapter two! But that’s ‘the only hint at a fairytale here, the rest of this novel and your vsiit is very much a dark tale.
