Description
A dead art historian. Cold War skulduggery. A reluctant Danish sleuth. And an extremely hungry dog.
Dame Charlotte Lazerton, eminent art historian and mentor of Danish academic Torben Helle, is dead. To make matters worse, she was found partially eaten by her Irish wolfhound, Mortimer.
While the police believe she died of natural causes, Torben becomes convinced Charlotte was murdered. However, as usual, no one pays any attention to him. That is, until he gains the confidence of a policeman who has watched too many Nordic Noir television shows and is ready to listen to any Scandinavian in a fetching woolly jumper.
Aided by his old friend Leyla, Torben soon realises there are plenty of people who might have wanted Dame Charlotte dead, from her competitors for a prestigious academic presidency to old enemies from her time in intelligence during the Cold War.
One thing is for sure: Torben Helle is woefully unqualified to catch a killer, and the killer knows it...
This witty murder mystery puts a modern spin on the classic Golden Age whodunnit. A must-read for fans of Tom Hindle, Richard Osman, and Janice Hallett.
