Guilty. One word on a beggar's cardboard sign. And now he is dead, stabbed in a wintry Copenhagen street, the second homeless victim in as many weeks. Dagbladet reporter Jensen, stumbling across the body on her way to work, calls her ex lover DI Henrik Jungersen.

With her teenage apprentice Gustav, Jensen soon finds herself putting everything on the line to discover exactly who is guilty ...
