But his well-connected, affluent family thinks otherwise. They\u2019re art dealers with a somewhat shady past and a history of receiving threats. In fact, they receive an ambiguous message the day after young Dreyer-Hoff disappears. Time to bring in detectives Jeppe K\u00f8rner and Anette Werner, who pursue Oscar\u2019s disappearance as though it were a kidnapping. K\u00f8rner and Werner encounter a wonderful range of characters\u2014from pouty, insolent teens to engineers in a recycling plant and the caretaker of an island in the harbor\u2014and we learn about Copenhagen in the process. <strong>Engberg is a genius at balance, going deep into the lives of K\u00f8rner and Werner, as well as some of the suspects, while never forgetting that this is a murder mystery, and the clock is ticking.<\/strong> The third in a series that just keeps getting better, this book also succeeds as a standalone.
