Publisher's Synopsis
A World War II Crime Noir novel. There is an informer inside the Sabotage Group BB. Death is waiting around every corner. It is time to ask yourself this one question: Who can be trusted? German-occupied Copenhagen, fall 1944. It has been four and a half years since the Nazi tanks crossed the border. Last year, the Danish Government's policy of cooperation with the Third Reich failed. The Danish police force was rounded up a few months ago and deported to concentration camps in Germany; now criminals rule the city streets. There is shortage of almost everything and easy money to be made. 'The Informer' is a rapid and raw crime noir tale about one of the darkest times in the history of Denmark. 'The Informer' was nominated 'Best Nordic Crime Novel' of the year and selected one of the best 36 books ever for a relaxing read on the beach by the major Danish newspaper Berlingske. Award winning author Steen Langstrup's work has been translated into several foreign languages including Swedish and Spanish, his books have been filmed and made into radio plays. 'The Informer' is his first book to be published in English.
