Mikkel Birkegaard Books

Imagine that some people have the power to affect your thoughts and feelings when you read, or they read a book to you. When Luca Campelli dies a sudden and violent death, his son Jon inherits his second-hand bookshop in Copenhagen. When Luca's death is followed by an arson attempt on the shop, Jon is forced to explore his family's past.

For Frank what once seemed a clever, intriguing plot twist, has suddenly become a terrifying, blood-spattered reality. In the mirror-image of the real world, she has become an ex-girlfriend chained and left to die at the bottom of the harbour. A corrupt police-officer tortured to death becomes a contact who dies with fear in his eyes.
