An excellent police detective mystery that takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark. The murder victim is a young woman. The lead detective, Jeppe Korner, and his team embark on an intense effort to find out who murdered her and mutilated her face. An interview of Esther de Laurentis, the victim's landlady and a budding author reveals to the police that the murder is eerily like that portrayed in her only partially completed manuscript. Admittedly, Esther freely incorporated the story of her psychologically scared tenant who became pregnant some years ago at age 15 into her novel, but it was her imagination she claims that then made her tenant into a fictional murder victim. Who then carried out the details of an unpublished fictional murder for real? Recommended!
