But who is Snoopy? & who is Pig Pen? & why does this killer find pleasure in arranging his victims like comic-strip characters? In New York nothing is ever quite what it seems...

Who killed Nanna Birk Larsen? That was the question on many lips when, in 2011, the BAFTA winning first series of The Killing was aired on British television. The subsequent column inches, not least about a certain black & white Faroe Island jumper, & critical success it garnered were partly a legacy of the previous year’s great success, The Wire, which had shown the appetite for a sophisticated investigation of the relationship between crime & politics. Acclaimed crime writer David Hewson has not, in this novelised version of the series, given us just another hack work spin-off, but a superb example of engrossing, literary detective fiction, so well written that it is now being translated & readied for publication in Danish. Instead of just giving us a verbatim transcript of the subtitles to the tv series, Hewson took the trouble to travel to Copenhagen & consult with Søren Sveistrup, the series script writer. What has emerged is a novel which has its own integrity & its own perspective, for Hewson takes on the persona of a witness to the events, just as the television viewer is. Where the television series at times seemed in danger of making Copenhagen seem dreary, Hewson has retained the gloomy Scandi atmosphere we all know & love, & given the novel’s ending an extra twist rather than an insulting anti-climax or an easy moral. Anyone who appreciates clever detective fiction & has not seen the series will find this riveting, while those who are already fans of the television series will be mesmerised by Hewson’s dynamic style & alternative ending. ...

Thirty nine steps rose from the busy road of Tuborgvej into Mindelunden, with its quiet graves & abiding bitter memories. Lennart Brix, head of the Copenhagen homicide team, felt he`d been walking them most of his life. Beneath the entrance arch, sheltering from the icy rain, he couldn`t help but recall that first visit almost fifty years before. A five-year-old boy, clutching the hand of his father, barely able to imagine what he was about see.. . The bark of a dog broke his reverie. Brix looked at the forensic officers, white bunny suits, mob hats, marching grim-faced down the rows of graves, towards the space in the little wood where the rest of the team was gathering.. . Three gnarled stakes, replicas now, with the originals in the Frihedsmuseet. A woman was tied to the centre pole, hands behind her back, bound with heavy rope round her torso. Blonde hair soaked with rain & worse, head down, chin on chest, crouched awkwardly on her knees. A gaping wound at her neck like a sick second smile. She wore a blue dressing gown slashed in places all the way to the waist, flesh & skin visible where the frenzied blade had stabbed at her. Her face was bruised & dirty. Blood poured from her nostrils, had dried down each side of her mouth, like makeup on a tragic clown.. . It is two years since the notorious Nanna Birk Larsen case. Two years since Detective Sarah Lund left Copenhagen in disgrace for a remote outpost in northern Denmark. When the body of a female lawyer is found in macabre circumstances in a military graveyard, there are elements of the crime scene that take Head of Homicide, Lennart Brix, back to an occupied wartime Denmark -- a time its countrymen would wish to forget. Brix knows that Lund is the one person he can rely on to discover the truth. Reluctantly she returns to Copenhagen & becomes intrigued with the facts surrounding the case. As more bodies are found, Lund comes to see a pattern & she realises that the identity of the killer will be known once the truth behind a more recent wartime mission is finally revealed.. . ...
