THE DEATH OF A NIGHTINGALE
KAABERBOL, LENE
Natasha Doroshenko, a Ukrainian woman who has been arrested for murdering her Danish fiance,
escapes police custody on her way to an interrogation in Copenhagen's police headquarters. It isn't the
first time Natasha has lost a partner to violent ends: her first husband was also murdered, three years
earlier in Kiev, and in the same manner, his hands broken. At the same time, someone tries to abduct
Natasha's eight-year-old daughter from the Red Cross center that has been caring for her while her
mother, an illegal immigrant, was in jail. Danish Red Cross nurse Nina Borg has been following Natasha's
case for several years now, since Natasha first took refuge at a crisis center where Nina works. Nina, who
had tried to help Natasha leave her abusive Danish fiancé more than once, just can't see the young
Ukrainian mother as a vicious killer. But in her effort to protect Natasha's daughter and discover the truth,
Nina realizes there is much she didn't know about this woman and her past. The mystery has long and
bloody roots, going back to a terrible famine that devastated Stalinist Ukraine in 1934.

THE DEATH OF AN ENGLISHMAN
NABB, MAGDALEN
It is just before Christmas and the marshal wants to go South to spend the holiday with his wife and
family, but first he must recover from the flu (which has left the Florentine caribinieri short-handed) and
also solve a murder. A seemingly respectable retired Englishman, living in a flat on the Via Maggio near
the Santa Trinita bridge, was shot in the back during the night. He was well-connected and Scotland Yard
has dispatched two officers to "assist" the Italians in solving the crime. But it is the marshal, a quiet
observer, not an intellectual, who manages to figure out what happened, and why.
