✦ Synopsis

A World War II Crime Noir novel.

There is an informer inside the Sabotage Group BB. Death is waiting around every corner. It is time to ask yourself this one question: Who can be trusted?

German-occupied Copenhagen, fall 1944. It has been four and a half years since the Nazi tanks crossed the border. Last year, the Danish Government’s policy of cooperation with the Third Reich failed. The Danish police force was rounded up a few months ago and deported to concentration camps in Germany; now criminals rule the city streets. There is shortage of almost everything and easy money to be made.

‘The Informer’ is a rapid and raw crime noir tale about one of the darkest times in the history of Denmark.
