Into the White Night

Synopsis

When the abused body of a Danish dairy cow drifts ashore on Gilleleje Strand, police assistant Lars Winkler comes on the trail of a case involving the smuggling of large quantities of an LSD-like substance. During an arrest of two climbing thieves at the Hotel Continental on Nørrebrogade in Copenhagen, Nanna Christoffersen, police assistant in the burglary department at Bellahøj Police, steals a statue of the Hindu god Kali. But both criminal masterminds and the intelligence service will do everything to get hold of the statue, and soon Nanna is being hunted wildly. Despite the police investigation, the drugs reach the street, and four people are hospitalized with severe psychosis after consuming the drug. And when the two burglars are killed at the recycling station under Bispeengbuen with traces of the same LSD-like substance in their bodies, Lars Winkler must realize that the two cases are connected. INTO THE WHITE NIGHT is the seventh volume in the series about Lars Winkler. Here he faces an old adversary in his most complicated case to date – what at first looks like a curiosity about a cow on acid is now a full-blown investigation into a particularly disgusting double homicide linked to extensive drug trafficking
