'Darklands' is Niels Krause-Kjær's independent sequel to the filmed bestselling novel 'Solitaire'. Suspicion of fraud at the highest level turns out to have threads reaching far into Danish democracy. A young civil servant in the Ministry of the Interior is murdered, the day before parliamentary elections are called. The journalist Ulrik Torp, who after a round of job cuts has ended up on social security, is sent by the Job Centre to a company internship at the Daily News and starts writing about the murder. The young civil servant had allegedly got wind of a widespread deception and, together with a journalist student intern, Ulrik Torp comes upon the trail of a small circle of former politicians and top officials who seem ready to use all means at their disposal to defend society against an illiberal agenda ruled by tweets and Facebook posts. Like 'Solitaire', 'Darklands' moves in the border zone between media and politics and describes current political dilemmas, just as it draws on the factual story about The Firm - a private intelligence service set up in Denmark after World War II and allegedly closed down in the 1960s - into a contemporary context. - Niels Krause-Kjær (born 1963) is a Danish journalist. After a period as press chief for the Danish Conservative Party's Parliamentary Group, he wrote the political thriller 'Solitaire', which became an award-winning film by Nikolaj Arcel. 'Darklands' is the second volume in the series about journalist Ulrik Torp. This thriller is also being filmed.

Kidnapped for his brilliance, a 15-year-old electronics genius must fly deadly drones and fight as a sea-going pirate to keep his parents alive. Can he escape and also free his twin sister from the clutches of a sex-trafficker? Earlier he worked as a self-taught Internet expert in the mega-city of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, while his songbird sister aspired to be a rumba star. But murderous gun-worshippers chloroformed him and whisked him away. Now he must fight for the wrong side. The crazies know exactly where his parents and dog live. The leader of his captors, the thuggish Congolese Purification Army, is a seven-foot-tall whack-job handy with AK-47s and oversized machete blades.
