A family has been found murdered in their home. Nothing has been stolen and the brutal killings yield no apparent motive. Thomas Schaeffer is disturbed by this mysterious, brutal attack, and takes the case. While the investigation proceeds, another family is kidnapped and held prisoner in their home. The killer sequesters the husband from his wife and child, and in a sadistic game forces the wife and child to role-play his own family. Katrine Ries Jensen and Thomas embark on a race against time to track down the killer and free the family before the killer’s private Utopia disintegrates.

When the badly beaten body of a man is found, Copenhagen Homicide is soon able to connect the murder to an incipient war between Eastern European drug gangs. Fortunately, the police have managed to insert an undercover officer as driver for the gang leader. But ThomasSchaeffer suspects that something else is involved here, something far more personal than just a settling of accounts between drug dealers. And when the undercover officer also turns up dead, he must make a perilous decision – one with far-reaching consequences for himself, Copenhagen Homicide and his family.
