Review:
'Davidsen's taut, disciplined thriller pits professional assassin Vuk, a Serbian raised in Denmark, against Det. Insp. Per Toftlund.' --Publishers Weekly
'I believed every word of it the danger, the action, the politics of power and fear. Davidsen writes like an assassin. Brilliant! More, more!' --Fay Weldon
'One of Denmark s top crime writers, Davidsen puts a cop and a journalist against the assassin, throwing them together in an unexpected relationship as they try to outwit the killer. This is the dark side of globalisation, in which ideology and greed forge a grim international alliance against democracy and freedom of speech' --Joan Smith, Sunday Times
