BELOW THE ICE

“This hybrid of Lisbeth Salander, Miss Smilla and Pippi Longstocking goes straight to the finish line”
– Jyllands-Posten newspaper

“There are authorships that not only enrich you with entertainment, but also make you wiser. Such an authorship is Morten Hesseldahl’s. Every time I put one of his books down, I have thought about current political topics that I otherwise hadn’t given much thought to before. He never gives dogmatic solutions, but instead asks some of the most topical questions of the time – and he does it with warmth, humor and always with respect for the conventions of the suspense genre.”
– Nanna Rørdam Knudsen, Publisher, Modtryk

“In Morten Hesseldahl’s solid suspense novel, the Danish Afghanistan veteran Pipaluk fights against both Denmark’s intelligence service, and disillusioned idealists. When she is forced to return to Greenland, she also encounters corrupt politicians, Chinese bribe money and American nuclear weapons, hidden in the dark under the melting ice.”
– The Swedish Crime Academy

“Nice and enjoyable … a seamless and brilliant prose, concise and to the point.”
– Politiken

“A solid suspense novel with a plot choreographed around current international tensions.”
– Jyllands-Posten

“Both exuberant and potent (…) a relevant and current suspense novel with vision and drama.”
– Berlingske

“Morten Hesseldahl exposes, in a very convincing way, all the political problems the commonwealth between Denmark and Greenland experiences right now (…) Added to this is a loving depiction of the Greenlandic nature, which is now being challenged by climate change.”
– Dagbladenes Bureau. 

“Excellent political thriller with an entertaining plot, which is both super excitingly put together, and which raises important thoughts about Greenland’s role as a political and cultural focal point in the world.”
– The libraries’ lecturer’s review
