Biology postgraduate, PhD hopeful, and single mom Anna Bella Nor is just two weeks away from defending her thesis on the saurian origin of birds when her academic supervisor, the highly respected yet widely despised Dr. Lars Helland, is found dead in his office chair at the University of Copenhagen. The police discover a copy of Anna's thesis in the dead man's bloody lap.
When the autopsy suggests that Helland may murdered in fiendishly ingenious way, brilliant but tormented young Police Superintendent Soren Marhauge begins the daunting task of unraveling the knotted skeins of interpersonal and intellectual intrigue among the scientists at the university. Everyone involved with the investigation-from Anna Bella Nor to Helland's numerous rivals to Marhauge's own ex-wife, who is pregnant with the current husband's child-has something to hide, complicating the investigation and presenting the detective with the greatest professional and personal challenge of his career.
Suspenseful and intensely human, S.J. Gazan's award-winning debut crime thriller is a classic of Scandinavian noir, from its richly imagined and deeply flawed characters to its scintillating exploration of one of the most fascinating aspects of dinosaur and avian research.
