The Mystery of the Danish Storyteller

A gripping detective thriller where the investigation of the sinister secrets of the past intertwines with the history of art, literature, and the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen.
What ancient secret did Andersen encrypt in his famous fairy tales? What... does the globally popular Little Mermaid hide? These are the questions posed by the Copenhagen police, faced with the mysterious murder of a Danish professor.
Meanwhile, a graduate student named Michael Cooper arrives in Denmark's capital from New York to attend a conference dedicated to the famous storyteller. Before his death, the professor managed to send the American a strange message belonging to Andersen.
For Cooper, solving the mysterious cipher becomes a matter of honor. Together with Ida, a student from the Faculty of Arts, he must immerse himself in the fairy-tale worlds of the writer to find the answers. But what if the professor is merely the first of the victims, and ancient Scandinavian mythology is involved in the case?
The incredible atmosphere of Copenhagen, the secrets of the past, and ancient artifacts — the detective will charm teenagers (16+) and adult fans of contemporary foreign prose and artistic Young Adult literature from the Trendbooks editorial team.
