A Christmas Serving
So, it happens again. No Christmas without a murder in the Merkantia department-store. This time it’s a very special serving.

Once again house detective Adeline la Cour and Detective Chief Inspector Strøm is on the case, the manager pleading for them to solve it before opening time. Preferably without anyone hearing about it.

A Personal Touch
As journalist Anna Lendorph fears her ‘detective career’ is over, maybe it isn’t. Maybe her rather special skills are just the thing, when neighbours interfere, couriers don’t show up, a snake arrives in paradise, private detectives are something else, the pathologist turns match-maker and movie offers are on the agenda?
Journalist Anna Lendorph and detective Christian la Cour continue their collaboration in the hunt for burglars and murderers, not only in Copenhagen but also in Oslo, Stockholm, Hamburg, London, and New York. They were audacious, opportunistic, inventive… and so were the crims.
Historical, true, cosy crime anno 1910 with illustrations and a Fact and Fiction chapter. And just like in book one – the action starts on page one. No messing about.

Into Their Stride
A chance encounter between newly minted journalist Anna Lendorph and rookie detective sergeant Christian la Cour, leads to a tour de force chasing real criminals in Copenhagen anno 1910.
Both draw on their rather unusual skill-sets in solving a crime that reaches across Europe, involving the aristocracy, a famous author, and a very long list of international suspects.
Blending historical fiction with true crime this is just the beginning for the merits of Lendorph and la Cour.
