The Midnight Witness

In the latest installment of the "Louise Rick/Camilla Lind" series (The Lost Woman), Copenhagen homicide detective Louise is assigned to investigate the strangulation death of a young woman found hidden under a bush in a park. That same day, Camilla, Louise's best friend and a newspaper crime reporter, calls to get information about the sudden death of a coworker. When the reporter's death is ruled a homicide, Louise is asked to use her connection with the newspaper to help move the case forward. Then a second journalist is murdered in the same manner, and the police and Camilla work to find the link between the two deaths. Though repeatedly warning Camilla to let the officers handle the investigations, Louise can't keep her from chasing the story that she thinks will advance her career. In the subplot, Louise must finally make a decision about her long-term relationship.
