On the day of the funeral Andy is shocked to discover one thing: the
person in that casket is not her sister.
Violet is alive.
Convinced her sister's elite boarding school is covering up the truth,
Andy enrols at Griffith Academy to discover what really happened and
find Violet.
After discovering a cryptic note from her sister, Andy must follow a
set of clues to unlock the truth. This will bring her into contact with
secret societies, ancient magic, demons and monsters. And a charming
senior named Jae Han who has his own reasons for finding out what
happened to Violet . . .
Soon Andy realises the price she must pay to bring her sister home is
darker and more dangerous than she ever could have imagined.
Copenhagen is a mysterious city where strange and sinister things
often happen. Menacing and at times darkly humorous there are
echoes of Roald Dahl and Daphne du Maurier in these stories, many
of which have been specially commissioned for BBC Radio 4. From the
commuter who bitterly regrets falling asleep on a late-night train
in Last Train to Helsingor, to the mushroom hunter prepared to kill
to guard her secret in The Chanterelles of Ostvig. Here, the land
of 'hygge' becomes one of twilight and shadows, as canny antique
dealers and property sharks get their comeuppance at the hands of
old ladies in Conning Mrs Vinterberg, and ghosts go off-script in
The Wailing Girl. Deliciously dark and chilling, this is Nordic
Noir at its finest.
