Death Before Dawn: An Inspector Cecilie Mars Thriller - Michael Katz Krefeld

A city gripped by fear, a detective framed by shadows.

A new commander takes the helm of the homicide unit at the Copenhagen police. The controversial and reckless Cecilie Mars has unexpectedly and, with the blessing of Minister of Justice Beatrice Klerke, taken over the chief\'s office.

But Mars soon realizes that Klerke\'s favour is a trap, embroiling her in an old, unsolved murder - one that now casts Mars as the prime suspect. As she grapples with betrayal in the police ranks, a crazed killer haunts the city, hunting single women in his sinister game...

The high-paced finale in the Cecilie Mars trilogy, ´Death Before Dawn´ is the standalone continuation to the critically acclaimed bestsellers ´Darkness Calls´ and ´Beast in the Night´.
