Meschugge s/c back

Copenhagen, Denmark, 1905. Terror is spreading in the Jewish Ghetto. Who can stop the murders? Who can bring truth to light? Who can stop the 'Meschugge', the Madman? Following a series of murders in the ghetto, a young Jewish typist is recruited by the Police to assist in their investigation. They feel that having an insider would help them solve the crimes in a place perceived as impenetrable to them. Her research leads her on the trail of a bloodthirsty murderer whose acts are rooted in old superstitions and who marks his victims with kabbalistic symbols. Her pursuit gradually turns into a personal quest, where she will have to confront her own roots and deepest fears. Soon, the hunter becomes the prey. As the killer targets her. Can she survive this? In the tradition of Jack the Ripper or The Alienist, this gripping Scandinavian thriller takes us deep into the heart of a ghetto where poverty intersects with crime to better blur the tracks of a predator whose nightmare visions foreshadow the terrible events to come. From the new Scandinavian masters of suspense and horror: Benni Bødker (Christmas Bestiary, Grimm) and Christian Højgaard (House of Secrets, the Dreaming).
