Description:
Copenhagen, 2012: In the basement of a villa, a man holds a macabre dinner. Copenhagen, 1953: An eight-year-old boy discovers a cellar under the basement of his house. In the cellar he finds a jar with two eyes in formaldehyde. When he shows it to his mother, who has never spoken to him before, she suddenly says to him: 'Daddy did that.' But who is Daddy? The boy only has a grandfather, who is a doctor. Copenhagen, 2012: A prostitute is found murdered in a park. Her eyes have been surgically gouged out and replaced with glass eyes. The body has been prepared to make it more durable. Cigarette-addicted police officer Lars Winkler is assigned to investigate the case of a murderer who specifically targets the eyes of his victims. The Sandman case, as it soon becomes known in the press. But it is not Winkler's only challenge. His wife has left him, his teenage daughter Maria is rebellious and his enemies are lurking in his department. Lars Winkler's past, an open secret in the police force for years, threatens to catch up with him. 'A very captivating and ingenious book, which combines the extravagant horror acts of a seriously disturbed mind with the real problems of human trafficking and rape. I was sorry it was over, and it did not let me go quickly.' - translator Renée Vink
