Grønland, isfunn, justismord. En etterforsker går opp igjen egne spor og finner at noens fortid er altfor grusomt knyttet til nyere forgåelser. Og hvordan leter man etter noe man ikke vet hva er?

One of the rare occasions where I didn't finish a book. The minders were grisly & gruesome and the nature of their crimes unpalatable. Even worse was the writing style, poor character description & development (who is the countess/climber? Why are they given those names?) all made me loathe to finish this.

This is the third volume in the crime series featuring Danish detective Konrad Simonson (Simon). Although it's rather long and leisurely, it opens with a bang: a school shooting. However, that proves not to be the main crime to be solved, but only the link to a connection with a postman who recently died in a fall. Simon is given the task to determine whether the postman's death was an accident or murder. Along the way Simon also looks into the disappearance 40 years previously of a teenage runaway from Liverpool named Lucy. And that's where, for me, a lot of the "fun" and merit of this book came in: repeated reference to Beatles songs and trivia. The runaway's name of course refers to Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, and the circumstances of her leaving comport with She's Leaving Home ("meeting a man from the motor trade"), with her parents still mourning and wondering what they did wrong 40 years later. And then Simon's girlfriend from the late 60's was named Rita, and she's involved with parking garages, so references to Lovely Rita the Meter Maid abound. And so on.

I'll probably read another in the series, though I'm not sure Beatles references will be enough to keep me reading. In general I'm not a huge fan of series (or at least those that go on too long), preferring to read new characters and new situations.

Op een maandagmorgen wordt het moordzakenteam van hoofdinspecteur Konrad Simonsen naar een lagere school in een voorstad van Kopenhagen geroepen. In de gymzaal hangen de lijken van vijf naakte, op sadistische wijze toegetakelde mannen. Hun handen en geslachtsdelen zijn verwijderd, hun gezichten onherkenbaar verminkt. Het heeft alle schijn van een openbare terechtstelling. Aanvankelijk lopen alle sporen dood, totdat de daders zich anoniem via internet melden: de vijf mannen waren pedofielen, en ze zijn niet zozeer vermoord als wel gestraft voor hun misdaden – en nieuwe executies zullen volgen.

Daarop spoelt een golf van sympathie met de daders door het land, gevoed door de gretige sensatiepers. Het politieteam van Simonsen staat voor een onmogelijke taak: terwijl de hele Deense samenleving zich tegen hen lijkt te keren, moeten zij de moordenaars vinden.
