THE BALD DETECTIVE – DEN SKALDEDE DETEKTIV

By Anna Grue

ROLF HARSKOV WAS 16 years and 27 days old when he was hit by a train and died. His little sister, Gry, was exactly the same age when she also lost her life. The police believe that the two deaths were accidents, but the children’s grieving parents disagree. They beg private detective Dan Sommerdahl to find the killer before their third and last child, Malthe, reaches the fateful age. However, the boy is not exactly cooperative, and when he defies the adults and goes to the Roskilde Festival, Dan has only a couple of days to find him in the crowd.

THE BALD DETECTIVE is the fourth standalone volume in the series about Dan Sommerdahl.

ANNA GRUE’S CRITICALLY acclaimed crime series has sold almost a million copies and is the inspiration behind the TV 2 series Sommerdahl. The books follow the bald advertising director and amateur detective Dan Sommerdahl, who cannot stay away from the mysteries in the cozy provincial town of Christianssund, even though police officer Flemming Torp does everything he can to keep him away.
