He walked over corpses to reach the very top. He blackmailed and set people up, never afraid to get his hands dirty. His name is Kim Sleisner, and he’s the chief of police in Copenhagen. Commissioner Fabian Risk is ready to do anything to finally put his sworn enemy behind bars. His former colleague Dunya Hugor has gone underground; an investigation is underway into Sleisner’s past boss—but she hopes to get to him first. Fabian Risk supports her in searching for evidence. But when a high-ranking employee of Danish intelligence and an unknown woman are found dead at the bottom of a lake near Copenhagen, it seems the trap has worked and the denouement is close. Surely it was Sleisner behind it all. But things are not so simple— the net catches not the one they wanted to catch.
