"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"

"The ghetto settlement Oksevænget on Bellahøj in Copenhagen has long been in the media's focus with crime, ethnic tensions and social problems. But with a long, tough effort, the municipality and the residents' association have succeeded in reversing the downward spiral. The Danish People's Party's mayor in Copenhagen, Kristian Havholm, wants to enter national politics, and together with his special adviser, he plans to visit the area. Copenhagen's police are in a dilemma: Refuse and get the press and half of the Parliament on their backs, or let him in with the risk of riots that could spread to the whole city. The police director chooses to put an iron ring around Oksevænget. No one comes out and no one comes in as long as the mayor is there. But just as Kristian Havholm and his advisor are on their way in the mayor's car, and the entire Danish press is lined up outside the cordon, a resident finds the body of an eight-year-old girl in a garbage container — and the gate to hell is opened. Police assistant Lars Winkler, who has just returned after two weeks of compulsory leave, is appointed head of the investigation. It will be seventeen hours in Oksevænget's witch's cauldron — and with Kristian Havholm in a surprising role — that Lars will not soon forget. THE ENEMY AMONG US is the sixth volume in the series about police assistant Lars Winkler. First of all, it is an exciting crime story about murder, police work and fear. But in a slightly larger perspective, it is also a book about how we talk together. About what we can do and perhaps especially should not do if we are to continue to be able to live together"

"A corpse is found in a snow-covered Tivoli Gardens one night five days before Christmas. Stabbed to death, strapped to the bottom of the gondola. The investigation is complicated when the wife of one of the suspects is accused of attempted murder in Christiania. Meanwhile, her family is falling apart, but a dark secret hangs over the family, and no one wants to talk to the police. Police Detective Lars Winkler must navigate a dark labyrinth of conflicting interests and a repressed past. Because the murder in the empty adventure garden – soon to be followed by several others – has links back to a Gasolin' concert in Tivoli in the mid-1970s, a collective in Østerbro and a macabre murder case in Christiania in 2007"
