After the death of Ellen KeldbergThe middle aged artist Ellen Keldberg was found frozen on a street bench in Skagen in northern Denmark, and now lies laid out on her bed, waiting for a post mortem. The mystery of her death, and who left her out in the cold, is unravelled by two separate investigations, by the hapless Mikkel, her nephew, and the mysterious Anne Sofie, a dark and anarchic presence. This translation of Petersen's novel nskebarnet is by Toby Bainton.
