In 1987, Nete Hermansen plans revenge on those who abused her in her youth. Curt Wad, a surgeon, sterilized wayward girls in 1950s Denmark. 20 years later, Detective Carl Morck is presented with the case of a brothel owner named Rita who went missing in the 80's. Carl's assistants, Assad and Rose, learn that other people disappeared at the same time as Rita. Curt Wad's brutal treatment of Nete comes forefront and shows the evil Wad is capable of.
This novel brings to the forefront the forced sterilization of women in Denmark's recent history also the rise of a fascist political party. It is a top-notch thriller with lots of suspense from the beginning until the very end. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series. Highly recommended!
