The Woman in the Wall
When human remains turn up behind an apartment wall, DI Henrik Jungersen knows he is hunting for a killer that has been hiding in plain sight.
Jensen, who should be enjoying maternity leave, is struggling with her own challenge – legendary author Valde Brix says he is her father. But Brix has an ulterior motive: he wants Jensen to use her sleuthing skills to find the stalker who is threatening to ruin his life.
When a woman connected to Brix turns up brutally murdered, Jensen and her teenage apprentice Gustav become embroiled in Henrik’s investigation. It becomes clear that the stalker won’t stop until Brix is destroyed. With growing horror, Jensen realises that her own loved ones are in mortal danger.

Desperate for redemption, but barred from reopening the old case, Henrik turns to his estranged lover, Dagbladet chief crime reporter Jensen, for help.

Back from the dead
A missing person … a headless corpse … Jensen is on the case …
June, and as Copenhagen swelters under record temperatures, a headless corpse surfaces in the murky harbour, landing a new case on the desk of DI Henrik Jungersen, just as his holiday is about to start.
Elsewhere in the city, Syrian refugee Aziz Almasi, driver to Esben Nørregaard MP has vanished. Fearing a link to shady contacts from his past, Nørregaard appeals to crime reporter Jensen to investigate.
Could the body in the harbour be Aziz? Jensen turns to former lover Henrik for help. As events spiral dangerously out of control, they are thrown together once more in the pursuit of evil, in a case more twisted and, more dangerous than they could ever have imagined.

My Name is Jensen
Guilty.
One word on a beggar’s cardboard sign. And now he is dead, stabbed in a wintry Copenhagen street, the second homeless victim in as many weeks. Dagbladet reporter Jensen, stumbling across the body on her way to work, calls the only person she can think of – DI Henrik Jungersen, her married ex-lover.
The front page is an open goal, but nothing feels right… When a third body turns up, it seems certain that a serial killer is on the loose. But why pick on the homeless? And is the link to an old murder case just a coincidence? With her teenage apprentice Gustav, Jensen soon finds herself putting everything on the line to discover exactly who is guilty.
