Who killed Nanna Birk Larsen? Through the dark wood where the dead trees
give no shelter, Nanna Birk Larsen runs…. There is a bright monocular
eye that follows, like a hunter after a wounded deer. It moves in a slow
approaching zigzag, marching through the Pineseskoven wasteland,
through the Pentecost Forest. The chill water, the fear, his presence
not so far away… There is one torchlight on her now, the single blazing
eye. And it is here…. Sarah Lund is looking forward to her last day as a
detective with the Copenhagen Police department before moving to
Sweden. But everything changes when a 19-year-old student, Nanna Birk
Larsen, is found raped and brutally murdered in the woods outside the
city. Lund’s plans to relocate are put on hold as she leads the
investigation, along with fellow detective Jan Meyer. While Nanna’s
family struggles to cope with their loss, local politician Troels
Hartmann is in the middle of an election campaign to become the new
mayor of Copenhagen. When links between City Hall and the murder
suddenly come to light, the case takes an entirely different turn. Over
the course of 20 days, suspect upon suspect emerges as violence and
political intrigue cast their shadows over the hunt for the killer.
