Detective Sergeant Eigil Holst is on holiday in the countryside
when the body of a baby is washed up on the banks of a nearby lake.
The local magistrate orders the lake to be drained and the body of
a young woman is discovered, naked and weighed down with stones
tied to her feet and neck. Her identity is a mystery. Holst then
takes it upon himself to find out where this woman came from, why
she was in this remote location and who could have had motive to
kill her. His investigations take him across Scandinavia and into
central Europe as, gradually, he realises that the solution to the
mystery could have huge implications for his own future. Originally
published in 1903, The Forest Lake Mystery is considered to be the
very first Danish crime novel, and the annual Danish crime writing
awards are named in honour of its author, Palle Rosenkrantz.
