Selected as a Most Anticipated title by People, Parade, Bustle,
CrimeReads, She Reads, and more! An electrifying work of literary
suspense from internationally bestselling author Katrine Engberg, The
Tenant--heralded as a "stunning debut" by #1 New York Times bestselling
author Kathy Reichs--follows two Copenhagen police detectives struggling
to solve a shocking murder and stop a killer hell-bent on revenge.When a
young woman is discovered brutally murdered in her own apartment with an
intricate pattern of lines carved into her face, Copenhagen police
detectives Jeppe Korner and Anette Werner are assigned to the case. In
short order, they establish a link between the victim, Julie Stender,
and her landlady, Esther de Laurenti, who's a bit too fond of drink and
the host of raucous dinner parties with her artist friends. Esther also
turns out to be a budding novelist--and when Julie turns up as a murder
victim in the still-unfinished mystery she's writing, the link between
fiction and real life grows both more urgent and more dangerous. But
Esther's role in this twisted scenario is not quite as clear as it first
seems. Is she the culprit or just another victim, trapped in a twisted
game of vengeance? Anette and Jeppe must dig more deeply into the two
women's pasts to discover the identity of the brutal puppet-master
pulling the strings. Evocative and original, The Tenant promises "dark
family secrets--and a smorgasbord of surprises" (People).
