Cilla and her little brother Agger dream of a prairie wagon vacation across Jutland. So when their parents cancel the trip, the summer takes an unexpected turn. Instead, they end up at their grandmother’s farm, Ingersminde, by the looming Shadow Mountain.

There, with their fearless cousin Cuba and his sister Havana, they stumble into a mystery far more thrilling than any holiday. The forest hides secrets, and an old legend about the Blue Lady, who guards a missing deed, suddenly comes to life. To save Ingersminde, the children must uncover the truth about Inger Nørby’s disappearance decades ago.

But danger lurks: a sinister man in a silver BMW is prowling the area. With only their wits, their courage, and the help of retired police officer Gunnar, the children must protect their grandmother’s farm before it’s too late.

Will they find the deed and keep Ingersminde safe? And will the Blue Lady finally find peace?

The Notorious: The Mystery of the Blue Lady is a gripping and heartwarming tale of family, courage, and friendship – perfect for readers who crave mystery and adventure from the very first page.
