When Nina Borg, Red Cross nurse, bleeding heart and refugee aid worker, gets a frantic call from estranged friend Karin begging her to pick up a package in one of the lockers at Copenhagen train station, she has no idea of the dangerous underworld she's about to be pulled into.The package turns out to be a suitcase with a drugged three-year-old boy inside-- defenceless, naked and barely conscious. When Karin shortly winds up murdered, Nina realises she's caught deep in the middle of a child trafficking case. She must now use her wits, her instinct and her connections in the refugee community to discover the identity of the child before she can find out who is behind his abduction, before they find out about her.
A complex narrative populated by flawed characters, The Boy in the Suitcase is a must for nordic noir enthusiasts, new and old. While a darker narrative might not suit the faint of heart, readers new to Scandinavian thrillers will find a compelling hook that will make it hard to turn away from this story. The unabridged audiobook is available from Central Coast Library today!
