The Dark Man

Konrad Simonsen is back! A Funen pyromaniac with several fires and a death on his conscience has been convicted for a fire he most likely did not commit. The Ministry of Justice's head of department discreetly hires Konrad Simonsen to investigate the case. Konrad Simonsen, who now works for a private consulting firm, agrees, but he quickly has to admit that the case is more inflamed than that: not only is the case classified and transferred to PET, no one seems to have any interest in the case being reopened. At the same time, the Homicide Department, now headed by Arne Pedersen, has received a spectacular case: Two men have been assaulted and had one of their hands removed, but none of the victims want to assist the police with the investigation, not even when a car fire has fatal consequences... The dark man is seventh book in the Hammer couple's successful series about Konrad Simonsen and his investigative team.
