When ninety-year-old Irene Valborg is found brutally murdered in an affluent suburb of Copenhagen, her diamond necklace missing, it looks like a burglary gone wrong. Following the highly acclaimed My Name is Jensen THE GIRL IN THE PHOTO is the second in the Jensen Thriller seriesWhen two more victims are attacked, the police lament a rise in violence against the elderly, but who is the young girl in the photo found by DI Henrik Jungersen on the scenes of crime? Impatient to claim her inheritance, Irene's daughter hires former Dagbladet reporter Jensen and her teenage apprentice Gustav to find the necklace.Questioning his own sanity, while trying to fix his marriage, Henrik finds himself once more pitched in a quest for the truth against Jensen - the one woman in Copenhagen he is desperate to avoid.

‘A wonderfully atmospheric Danish noir debut which felt like the literary equivalent of curling up with a box set of The Bridge or The Killing’ The Times. 'A more than promising debut'. The Times Crime Club, Pick of the Week. 'A rich, propulsive thriller' Daily Telegraph. 'Compelling, atmospheric and beautifully written' Louise Welsh. 'A brilliant debut and the author in full possession of the crime writing craft. Heidi Amsinck is hopefully here to stay' Yrsa Sigurdardottir. 'Eerie unnerving, in equal measure charming and creepy' Will Dean
