Short description

A temp finds 340 letters from Denmark’s national biobank, marked deceased — from people who answer the phone. It is no error, but the start of a 29-year crime in which no one has touched anyone, and the weapon is the world’s best registers. A crime novel without police, and without a murderer you can point to.

Long description

A temp in her thirties sits in a basement clearing returned mail from Denmark’s national biobank. 340 letters have come back with one word stamped on them: deceased. But when Maja Lindhardt calls the first name on the list, he answers the phone. It is no typo. It is the beginning of a crime that has run for 29 years — in which no one has raised a hand against anyone, and the weapon is the very thing Denmark is proudest of: the world’s best registers. The perpetrators are a decorated cardiologist, an idealistic professor and a contract with a minimum figure in an appendix. CONSENT is a crime novel without police, without bodies in the woods, and without a murderer you can point to. The crime is an omission. And when the system must choose between fixing the error and prosecuting the woman who found it, it chooses the latter without hesitation. A gripping, documentary-grounded suspense novel about health data, power and the human cost of a perfect ledger — Scandinavian social crime for readers of documentary-grounded suspense.
