Winner of the Danish Crime Novel fo the Decade, S.J. Gazan's debut novel THE DINOSAUR FEATHER is a classic of Scandinavian noir, from its richly imagined and deeply flawed characters to its scintillating exploration of one of the most fascinating aspects of contemporary dinosaur and avian research.

When the autopsy suggests that Helland may have been murdered in a fiendishly ingenious way, the brilliant but tormented young Police Superindendent SΓΒΈren Marhauge begins the daunting task of unraveling the knotted skeins of interpersonal and intellectual intrigue among the scientists at the university. Unfortunately for him, everyone involvedΓ’β¬βfrom embittered single mom Anna Bella Nor to Marhauge's own ex-wife, who is pregnant with her current husbandΓ’β¬β’s childΓ’β¬βhas something to hide, presenting the detective with the greatest professional and personal challenge of his entire career.
