Thriller Arcane
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. Biology postgraduate and hopeful PhD Anna Bella Nor is just
two weeks away from defending her thesis on the origin of
birds when her supervisor, the arrogant and widely despised
Dr. Lars Helland, is found dead in his office chair at the
University of Copenhagen. In the dead man’s bloody lap is a
copy of Anna’s thesis. When the autopsy suggests that Helland may have been
murdered in a fiendishly ingenious way, the brilliant but
tormented young Police Superindendent Søren 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
involved—from embittered single mom Anna Bella Nor to
Marhauge's own ex-wife, who is pregnant with her current
husband’s child—has something to hide, presenting the
detective with the greatest professional and personal
challenge of his entire career.
