Call Me Princess

Blaedel is the newest figure in the growing body of Scandinavian crime fiction writers who reach American readers. This is the Danish author's first book to be published in English but the second in her detective inspector Louise Rick series (the first won the Danish Crime Academy's Debutant Award). Rick works for the Copenhagen Police Homicide Squad and is investigating a brutal case of date rape. When she discovers that the rapist is using a popular Internet dating site to select his victims, she goes after him by creating an online profile. Meanwhile, her best friend, a crime journalist, is pressuring her to discuss the case, and Rick must tread the fine line between being a good friend and keeping police information from an aggressive reporter. She is also contending with serious relationship issues with her long-term boyfriend.
