Summary

Six days ago, a paperboy on his route in central Copenhagen stumbled upon the naked body of a dead woman lying in a fountain with arms marked with small incisions. Cause of death: exsanguination -- the draining of all the blood in her body. Lead Investigator Jeppe Korner, recovering from a painful divorce and in the throes of a new relationship, pounds the streets looking for answers. His partner, Anette Werner is on maternity leave, restless at home with a demanding newborn and an equally-demanding husband -- and decides to do a little freelance sleuthing. Their investigations uncover the ambition and greed that festers beneath the surface of caregiving institutions
