Tre brutale knivdrab begås kort efter hinanden i Helsingør, og efterforskerne Agnes Hillstrøm og Thor Belling får travlt. Ved første øjekast har de tre ofre intet med hinanden at gøre, og motivet er ukendt. Hillstrøm og Belling søger hjælp hos den pensionerede dommer Søren Madsen og hans kone, Anna, som begge har deres egne mørke hemmeligheder. Da endnu et voldeligt angreb begås, får efterforskerne et gennembrud, der måske vil afdække sandheden bag Helsingørs kulisser. VENDETTA er den tredje roman i Lars Kjædegaards krimiserie om Hillstrøm & Belling.

WINNDER OF THE CWA GOLD DAGGER 'Wonderfully intricate.' LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS 'Heart-pounding . . . a terrifying tale of revenge.' MYSTERY NEWS AN AURELIO ZEN MYSTERY Inspector Aurelio Zen has a problem: the impossible murder of an eccentric billionaire, recorded on the closed-circuit video of Oscar Burolo's top-security Sardinian fortress. Officials in a high government ministry want someone - anyone - to blame, and they want Zen to find a likely candidate. But the billionaire's corrupt dealings enriched some of the most exalted figures in Italian politics, and as Zen gets to work, he is plunged into a menacing and violent world where his own life is soon at risk.
