Two young Roma boys break into an abandoned Soviet hospital
looking for something to sell; what they find will send the
security forces in two countries into a terrorism
investigation.
Nina Borg is a Red Cross nurse who is called upon to treat
patients in unsafe conditions. Her convictions are that
everyone deserves to be treated regardless of their
nationality. When she is called upon to treat some Roma
families hiding out in an abandoned garage in Copenhagen,
she has no idea that she will be putting her family and her
life in a perilous situation.
Sandor Horvath is a student in international law at a
university in Hungary. Trying to fit into the gadji world,
he is unprepared when his younger brother steals his
passport and his computer to sell what he finds in the hospital
Sandor is picked up by the Hungarians. His release is just
before his final exam is to take place. He is denied his
chance to graduate and sets out to find out what Invisible
scheme his brother has caught him up in.
An intricately woven story that brings together many threads
involving two countries and two different ideologies,
INVISIBLE MURDER is a strong statement about the
indignities that
society inflicts on people who don't fit into their
conception of normal. While the story is strong, I found it
hard to follow because the authors did a lot of scene
hopping; both in time and location. If you like dark
mysteries, this will meet your needs. For those who like
cozies or light mysteries, this will depress you.
The second installment in the bestselling Danish crime
series starring Red Cross nurse Nina Borg, following Fall
2011's New York Times–bestselling The Boy in the
Suitcase
In the ruins of an abandoned
Soviet military hospital in northern Hungary, two
impoverished Roma boys are scavenging for old supplies or
weapons they could sell on the black market when they find
more than they ever anticipated. The resulting chain of
events threatens to blow the lives of a frightening number
of people into bits and pieces.
In this
feverishly anticipated follow-up to 2011’s critically
acclaimed The Boy in the Suitcase, Danish Red Cross
nurse Nina Borg doesn’t realize she is putting life and
family on the line when she tries to treat a group of sick
Hungarian gypsies who are living illegally in a Copenhagen
garage. Nina has unwittingly thrown herself into a deadly
nest of the unscrupulous and the desperate, and what is at
stake is much more terrifying than anyone had realized.
