So, when part-time blues musician, frustrated home renovator, and full-time private detective Gabriel Praest agrees to investigate the matter because his ex-the one who got away-asked him to, he knew it was a no-win case.  But as Gabriel starts to ask questions, his face meets with the fists of Russian gangsters; the Danish prime minister asks him for a favor; and he starts to realize that something may be rotten in the state of Denmark.  Wondering if Yousef was framed to heighten the local anti-Muslim sentiment, Gabriel follows a trail back in time to World War II when anti-Semitism was raging in Europe during the German occupation of Denmark. Fearing a nationalistic mindset has resurfaced, Gabriel rolls up the sleeves of his well-cut suit and gets to work. From the cobblestone streets of Copenhagen to the historic Strassen of Berlin where the sounds of the steel-toed boots of marching Nazis still linger, Gabriel finds that some very powerful Danes don't want him digging into the case-as the secrets he unearths could shake the foundations of Danish identity.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44577558167771,"sku":"9780063235519-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9780063235519-us-300.jpg?v=1702376170","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780063235519-secondhand-a-death-in-denmark-the-first-gabriel-praest-novel","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
