The Light on the Other Side: A Historical Crime Novel Based on True Events - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Copenhagen, 2005. A hundred-year-old man is murdered in his care home. The motive is more than sixty years old.

Friedrich Saltov lived quietly, kept to himself and outlived almost everyone who ever knew him. So why would anyone kill a man with so little time left?

Detective Lefkowitz and his partner Carla expect a straightforward case. Instead, archive files, forgotten names and an identity that should not exist pull them back through the decades: to a Jewish family fleeing Berlin in 1935, to the fragile safety of pre-war Copenhagen, and to the harbour at Snekkersten in October 1943, when Denmark's Jews ran for the fishing boats that could carry them across the water to Sweden.

Not everyone reached the other side.
Moving between a present-day investigation and one of the most remarkable rescues of the Second World War, The Light on the Other Side is a tense, deeply human crime novel about courage, loss and a crime that was never punished.

Inspired by the author's own family history. Denis Lewinsky's grandfather fled Nazi Germany for Denmark in the 1930s, and his family escaped to Sweden in 1943. It is a story those who lived it rarely spoke about.

For readers who love Nordic crime with a conscience, dual-timeline mysteries, and historical fiction rooted in real events.
