Product Details:
| The body of a slain woman is found in a Copenhagen park commemorating the Danish Resistance in WWII – a symbolic act? An ex-soldier disabled while serving in Afghanistan is savagely killed – a deadly warning? Copenhagen’s Homicide Department is stumped. Detective Commander Brix calls on Chief Inspector Sarah Lund, banished to the provinces after several foul-ups in her last murder investigation. She’s not the easiest to get along with – but she’s the best. Sarah Lund is back, and as sharp as ever. She soon discerns a common thread in the cases – all the victims are ex-soldiers, and all were stationed in Afghanistan. Denmark’s new Minister of Justice and ex-soldier Peter Raben, committed to psychiatric care since his return from the war are the other protagonists in a twisting tale of top-level cover-ups, betrayals and lies set in a climate of fear of Islamic terrorism. More than a classic “whodunit”, the second series of The Killing is a reflection on war and what it does to people – fertile ground for Sarah Lund’s crime-solving adventures, with all the nail biting thrills and heart-pounding excitement of series one. |
