The Mystery of the Danish Storyteller

A gripping detective thriller where the investigation of sinister secrets from the past intertwines with the history of art, literature, and the fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen.

What ancient secret did Andersen encode in his famous fairy tales? What does... the world-famous Little Mermaid hide? These are the questions facing the Copenhagen police, confronted with the mysterious murder of a Danish professor.

Meanwhile, a graduate student, Michael Cooper, flies from New York to the capital of Denmark for a conference dedicated to the famous storyteller. Before his death, the professor managed to send the American a strange message, attributed to the pen of Andersen.

For Cooper, deciphering the mysterious code becomes a matter of honor. Together with Ida, a student from the Faculty of Arts, he will dive into the fairy-tale worlds of the writer to find answers. But what if the professor is merely the first victim, and ancient Scandinavian mythology is involved in the case?

The incredible atmosphere of Copenhagen, the secrets of the past, and ancient artifacts—this detective will enchant teenagers (16+) and adult fans of contemporary foreign prose and artistic Young Adult literature from the Trendbooks publishing house.
