Description

Fate is a small moment that changes everything. Like when Rebekka and her mother drive the wrong way on the way to the hospital. The driver is stressed, Rebekka is about to give birth, the car in front of them brakes too hard and the collision is inevitable. That morning Rebekka loses everything, her mother and her unborn child. That Rebekka survives is almost a miracle. Or a curse.

Seventeen years have passed, Rebekka is slowly shaking off her past, the accident back then in Africa, where her father was posted as ambassador. She is 34, sells expensive country properties in Jutland, life is finally getting better again. Until the day fate strikes again. This time it's cancer. Aggressive, life-threatening. Rebekka can't believe what she's hearing when the doctor explains that she can only survive if she gets a bone marrow transplant from a close family member. Rebekka has no siblings, the only chance is her father. When tests show that the father's cells do not match Rebekah's, the last hope dies. Until a new truth emerges. The father's secret. All that he has hidden from Rebekka since the terrible accident. About Rebekah's child, a little girl. The daughter did not die that night. She was adopted away. And maybe she's still alive.

At the same time, somewhere in the Copenhagen ghetto, a terrible sight awaits the homicide investigator Kim. Yes, a woman has been murdered, Kim has seen that before. But something has been cut from the body and the killer has taken it with him. Something that doesn't just point to the killer's identity, but to a larger conspiracy, a case that reaches beyond the country's borders, right into the heart of darkness.

CHILDREN OF THE SEA is a novel about injustice. About finding hope, even where no hope seems possible. It is an epic tale. About a mother and a daughter, about people reaching out to each other, across continents, about love, longing, about overcoming the impossible.
