Copenhagen is a mysterious city where strange and sinister things often happen. Menacing and at times darkly humorous there are echoes of Roald Dahl and Daphne du Maurier in these stories, many of which have been specially commissioned for BBC Radio 4.

Guilty. One word on a beggar’s cardboard sign. Now, he is dead; stabbed in a wintry Copenhagen street, the second homeless victim in as many weeks. Dagbladet reporter Jensen, stumbling across the body on her way to work, calls her ex lover DI Henrik Jungersen. As, inevitably, old passions are rekindled, so are old regrets, and that is just the start of Jensen’s troubles. When a third body turns up, it seems certain that a serial killer is on the loose. With her teenage apprentice, Gustav, Jensen soon finds herself putting everything on the line to discover exactly who is guilty.

June, and as Copenhagen swelters under record temperatures, a headless corpse surfaces in the murky harbour, landing a new case on the desk of DI Henrik Jungersen, just as his holiday is about to start. Elsewhere in the city, Syrian refugee Aziz Almasi, driver to Esben Nørregaard MP has vanished. Fearing a link to shady contacts from his past, Nørregaard appeals to crime reporter Jensen to investigate.

"Schuldig." Nur dieses eine Wort steht auf dem Pappschild des jungen Mannes, der in Kopenhagen unter einer Straßenlaterne sitzt. Am nächsten Morgen liegt er leblos im Schnee, ermordet. Jensen, Journalistin bei der Zeitung Dagbladet, stolpert fast über seine Leiche. Sie ruft Kommissar Henrik Jungersen zum Tatort, ihren besten Kontakt bei der Kopenhagener Polizei - und ehemaligen Liebhaber. Es ist schon der zweite Mord an einem Obdachlosen innerhalb von zwei Wochen, und als kurz darauf eine dritte Leiche auftaucht, gehen alle von einem Serien-Mörder aus.

When ninety-year-old Irene Valborg is found brutally murdered in an affluent suburb of Copenhagen, her diamond necklace missing, it looks like a burglary gone wrong. When two more victims are attacked, the police lament a rise in violence against the elderly, but who is the young girl in the photo found by DI Henrik Jungersen on the scenes of crime? Impatient to claim her inheritance, Irene's daughter hires former Dagbladet reporter Jensen and her teenage apprentice Gustav to find the necklace.
