Three Dog Night

Peter Boutrup just wants peace and quiet in his new post-prison life. But when a young woman goes missing on New Year's Eve and Peter discovers the body of Ramses, an old acquaintance from prison, things start to unravel. He must start to accept that the truth lies hidden in the past he is trying so desperately to forget.

Two days after the disappearance, a body is found in the harbour, naked, attached to an anchor and with its face torn off. Is this the body of the missing woman? Is it connected with Ramses' murder? And could Peter's strange new neighbour, Felix, be involved?

Populated by a cast of characters from the underbelly of Danish society, THREE DOG NIGHT is a fast-paced thriller that paints a picture of a rarely seen side of Denmark.

“Very promising”

Egholm is a better storyteller than most other female crime writers ... It's thrilling and brutal. - Ekstra Bladet

Add to this the supple language and the evocative descriptions of beauty as well as ugliness on Djursland, and the result is a highly recommended, bleak and captivating crime novel. - Information

Both plot and characters go full throttle ... How it all connects is both surprising and imaginative. - Politiken

The story is captivating and well told. The book has some cleverly turned twists in a focused narrative where the expected truths emerge during the dramatical final stand-off. - metroXpress
