Annie Schrijver is just twenty-two-years-old. She works in the picturesque Albert Cuyp flower market where her father has a stall. Brimming with personality, she’s always been popular with the customers. But then she goes missing, only to be found barely alive, tied to a stone angel in a graveyard, surrounded by a ring of fire. Her body contains traces of a drug which connect the police to a previous case: the Sleeping Beauty murders. But Annie seems to have been the lucky one, as a body is found nearby, freshly tattooed with three words: Sleep Baby Sleep. It is summer and Amsterdam is full of tourists drunk or high on all that it has to offer. The drum of music from a make-shift DJ booth near the zoo is deafening, and empty frites cones and beer cans litter the streets. But the atmosphere has sinister undercurrents as a killer is at work in a city where crime pays and tensions run high. Detective Pieter Vos knows that if he is to outwit the murderer, he will need to employ everything he has to avert a greater tragedy.

Sinterklaas, a beaming, friendly saint with a white beard, was set to mark his arrival in Amsterdam with a parade so celebrated it would be watched live on television throughout the Netherlands. Today the crowds would run into three hundred thousand or more, and the police presence would top four figures. The city centre was closed to all traffic as a golden barge bore Sinterklaas down the Amstel river, surrounded by a throng of private boats full of families trying to get close.' Amsterdam is bursting at the seams with children trying to get a glimpse of their hero and families enjoying the occasion. The police are out in force, struggling to manage the crowds on one of the busiest days of the year. Brigadier Pieter Vos is on duty with his young assistant, Laura Bakker, when the first grenade hits. As Sinterklaas prepares to address the crowds, a terrorist incident grips the heart of the city. In the chaos a young girl wearing a pink jacket is kidnapped. But the abducted child isn't the daughter of an Amsterdam aristocrat as the terrorists first thought. She's the daughter of an impoverished Georgian prostitute, friendless and trapped in the web of vice that is Amsterdam's Red Light District. As the security forces and the police clash over the ensuing investigation, the perpetrator's horrifying demands become clear. Vos, trapped in a turf war with state intelligence, tries to unravel a conspiracy that reaches from the brothels of the city to the hierarchy of the security services. And at its heart lies an eight-year-old girl, snatched from a loving mother and then ferried from one criminal lair to the next. Her life in the balance as Vos and Laura Bakker struggle to uncover the shocking truth behind her abduction. What is the life of one immigrant child worth in the greater political game emerging around them?

Detective Inspector for homicide, Sarah Lund, is contacted by old flame Mathias Borch from National Intelligence. Borch fears that what first appeared to be a random killing at the docks is the beginning of an assassination attempt on Prime Minister Troels Hartmann. The murder draws attention towards the shipping and oil giant, Zeeland, run by billionaire Robert Zeuthen. When Zeuthen's 9-year-old daughter, Emilie, is kidnapped the investigation takes on a different dimension as it soon becomes clear that her disappearance is linked to the murder of a young girl in Jutland some years earlier. Hartmann is in the middle of an election campaign, made all the more turbulent because of the mounting financial crisis. He needs Zeeland's backing. Lund needs to make sense of the clues left by Emilie's perpetrator before it's too late. And can she finally face the demons that have long haunted her?

It is a tale of ghosts, of madness, of revenge - of old alliances giving way to new intrigues. Denmark is changing, shaking off its medieval past. War with Norway is on the horizon. And Hamlet - son of the old king, nephew of the new - becomes increasingly entangled in a web of deception - and murder.

A Family In Turmoil. A Country In Crisis. All Debts Must Be Settled. Detective Inspector for homicide, Sarah Lund, is contacted by old flame Mathias Borch from National Intelligence.

Three years ago, sixteen-year-old Anneliese, daughter of detective Pieter Vos, disappeared in mysterious circumstances, leaving her father distraught.
Pieters desperate search revealed nothing and resulted in his departure from the police force. He now lives on a dilapidated houseboat in the colourful Amsterdam region of the Jordaan, with only his dog for company. Laura Bakker is a young misfit trainee detective and when she hears that Katja Prins, daughter of an important local politician, has gone missing in similar circumstances to Anneliese, she goes to see Vos.
Vos finds himself drawn back into the role of detective, hoping against hope to unearth a clue that might lead him to discover the fate of Anneliese. The daughter he blames himself for losing.

It is a tale of ghosts, of madness, of revenge - of old alliances giving way to new intrigues. Denmark is changing, shaking off its medieval past. War with Norway is on the horizon. And Hamlet - son of the old king, nephew of the new - becomes increasingly entangled in a web of deception - and murder. Beautifully performed by actor Richard Armitage ("Thorin Oakenshield" in the Hobbit films), Hamlet, Prince of Denmark takes Shakespeare’s original into unexpected realms, reinventing a story we thought we knew.

The Killing 2

Dante's Numbers

У Сары Лунд сегодня последний день ее службы. Завтра она оставляет пост инспектора отдела убийств полицейского управления Копенгагена, переезжает в Швецию и начинает новую, гражданскую жизнь. Но человек, как известно, предполагает, а дьявол располагает. В лесу на окраине города обнаружено тело девятнадцатилетней девушки. Сара вынуждена временно отложить отъезд и вместе со своим коллегой инспектором Яном Майером взяться за расследование убийства. След приводит в городскую администрацию, где идет нешуточная борьба за пост будущего мэра столицы Дании. В дело вмешивается политика, и охота за убийцей превращается в смертельно опасное ба-лансирование на острие ножа, когда любое неверное движение может привести к смерти.

На мемориальном кладбище в Копенгагене найден труп женщины-юриста. Убийство странное, очень похожее на ритуальное, тем более что мемориал создан на месте, где во время фашистской оккупации Дании немцы казнили героев Сопротивления. Дело взято под правительственный контроль, на полицейское руководство давит министр юстиции. Не надеясь на собственные силы, шеф отдела убийств столичного полицейского управления уговаривает бывшего инспектора Сару Лундт, уволившуюся из полиции два года назад, взяться за расследование преступления...
Впервые на русском языке роман, продолжающий детективную линию, начатую в книге «Убийство» — романе, основанном на одноименном датском телесериале, снискавшем такую всеевропейскую популярность, что американский телеканал AMC создал свой его вариант, который имел успех уровня культового «Твин Пикс».
