"I always knew that I was good at writing stories. I had written a lot of lyrics to music, and so on, but I had never written a book. While I had traveled a lot in Germany during my whole life and had some family members there, I was starting to wonder – how on earth could these skillful and friendly people ever have been Nazis. As history obviously always had been my great hobby, I was starting to dive deeper into the question – I wanted to write a book about how it could happen what had turned those people into this disaster."

The Danish investigator Tom Halvorsen had just arrived home, to his newly bought, small but cozy house. placed in one of the prosperous suburbs in the northern part of Copenhagen, tired after a long day of work, finally seated, on his old chesterfield sofa, in front of the fireplace with a cup of tea, about to unwind.
Then the call came from one of his colleagues, telling him – That there had just been a shooting inside Copenhagen, which had left his closest partner Olina deadly wounded. Instinctively he had known that it was some sort of revenge from Gustav Kräsens- The mighty and powerful CEO that runs and own the world’s most prominent Diary firm, and for the last three year has been investigated by MI5 The German and Danish secret police for his role in -KUNST RINGE an illegal art business that operates in the shadows, among wealthy business people all over the world.
-A shooting, they could have avoided. But it happens.
-His partner was deadly wounded.
-a crime investigation that has gone completely wrong
-His honor
-His divorce
While he is driving fast on the icy beach road, on his way to something that is likely to be the second shooting scene, according to the new incoming message, he cannot help thinking – Why am I doing this?
A top businessman and his female partner suddenly move their bloody and illegal art business to India. Interpol and the Danish secret agent Tom Halvorsen get approved 8 days to investigate freely inside India. When the story takes a turn and starts to unfold in India the reader will now see the tale from the point of the villain and through her eyes. Her name is Claire. She is a powerful woman, and for several years she has been in a close love and work relationship with the main villain Gustav Kräsen.
We experience Mumbai from her perspective, and we get an insight into the foreign corruption companies are trying to do in India. – We experience how official India is forced to turn a blind eye to financial crimes done by foreign companies. – What to choose. -money to the state of Mumbai, or go strictly with the law and risk the companies feeling better off elsewhere, and then lose the investments?
The stakes are high in this historical drama. The Danish investigation team is soon learning that many Indian officials are profiting from the legal and illegal activities companies like Kräsen are doing. And it is questioned- if, it's really in anybody's interest to obstruct a high-profile businessman. You will not read many pages before you get sucked into this historical drama.
