The Boy in the Suitcase by Lene Kaaberbøl and Agnete Friis

Fans of Stieg Larsson will undoubtably flock to this bestselling Scandinavian thriller. Kaaberbøl and Friis introduce us to Nina Borg, a driven Red Cross nurse, in what promises to be the first in a series of gripping mysteries. A friend pleads with Nina to retrieve something from inside a locker at the Copenhagen train station. That something turns out to be a suitcase; inside is a naked, sedated, three-year-old boy. Who is this boy? Is he a victim of human trafficking? Who does he belong to? In her quest to protect the boy and find out where he belongs, Nina is exposed to Denmark’s dark underbelly. A place where some people don’t want to be found. To complicate matters, a very wealthy man has hired a killer to track down the boy, and now that man is after Nina. Why does he want the boy?
While the characters are a bit hard to follow at first (and perhaps that may be blamed on the translation), the authors know how to keep their readers interested. This is a very fast-paced thriller that you will not be able to put down. If you enjoy suspense, unexpected twists and turns, and a surprise ending, you will certainly enjoy The Boy in the Suitcase.
