Sprache: Deutsche TitelIn the ruins of an abandoned Soviet military hospital in northern Hungary, two impoverished Roma boys are scavenging for old supplies or weapons to sell on the black market when they stumble upon something more valuable than they ever could have anticipated. The resulting chain of events threatens to blow the lives of a frightening number of people.
Meanwhile, in Denmark, Red Cross nurse Nina Borg puts her life and family on the line when she tries to treat a group of Hungarian Gypsies who are living illegally in a Copenhagen garage. What are they hiding, and what is making them so sick? Nina is about to learn how high the stakes are among the desperate and the deadly.
Nina Borg, a Red Cross nurse, wife, and mother of two, is a compulsive do-gooder who can't say no when someone asks for help—even when she knows better. When her estranged friend Karin leaves her a key to a public locker in the Copenhagen train station, Nina gets suckered into her most dangerous project yet. Inside the locker is a suitcase, and inside the suitcase is a three-year-old boy: naked and drugged, but alive.
Is the boy a victim of child trafficking? Can he be turned over to authorities, or will they only return him to whoever sold him? When Karin is discovered brutally murdered, Nina realizes that her life and the boy's are in jeopardy, too. In an increasingly desperate trek across Denmark, Nina tries to figure out who the boy is, where he belongs, and who exactly is trying to hunt him down.
Un retrato magistral de la época en un thriller tan fascinante como revelador.
«Una mujer cuya pasión por la ciencia y la medicina la enfrenta a la sociedad de su época.»
En 1894, en la ciudad francesa de Varburgo aparece el cadáver de una joven. Uno de los médicos de la localidad, Albert Karno, conocido como el Doctor Cadáver, descubre la presencia de unos ácaros en las fosas nasales de la difunta. Karno deberá establecer la causa de la muerte, pero la familia de la muchacha y el sacerdote de la ciudad se niegan a autorizar la autopsia.
El Doctor Cadáver es la historia de Albert Karno, un médico que intenta comprender la muerte en beneficio de los vivos. Cuenta con la ayuda del comisario de la ciudad, su amigo y colaborador, cuyo deber y vocación es registrar todos los fallecimientos que se producen en esta; y, sobre todo, con la de Madeleline Karno, la hija veinteañera y ayudante ambiciosa del Doctor Cadáver, cuya pasión por la medicina se rebela contra los cánones establecidos por la sociedad de la época.
Será el inicio de una serie de acontecimientos dramáticos que conducirá al médico, a su hija y al comisario del lugar hasta un convento cercano, custodiado por lobos, y los miembros de la burguesía local.

«Las autoras Lene Kaaberbøl y Agnete Friis han escrito otra perturbadora obra de denuncia contra la injusticia social.» —The New York Times Sunday Book Review
In an attempt to save their marriage, Nina Borg and her husband traveled to a beach resort in the Philippines for a dream vacation. Only now, six months later, does Nina begin to understand the devastating repercussions of that trip—repercussions that have followed her home across the globe to Denmark. On an icy winter day, she is attacked outside the grocery store. The last thing she hears before losing consciousness is her assailant asking her forgiveness. Only later does she understand that this isn’t for what he’s just done, but for what he plans to do to.
As Nina tries to trace the origin of sinister messages she’s received, she realizes the attempt on her life must be linked to events in Manila, and to three young men whose dangerous friendship started in medical school. Time and circumstance have forced them to make impossible choices that have cost human lives.
It’s a long way from Viborg to Manila, and yet Nina and her pursuer face the same dilemma: How far will they go to save themselves?
Strong-minded and ambitious, Madeleine Karno is eager to shatter the constraints of her provincial French upbringing. She longs to become a pathologist like her father, whom she assists, but this is 1894. Autopsies are considered unseemly and ungodly, even when performed by a man.
So it’s no surprise that when seventeen-year-old Cecile Montaine is found dead in the snowy streets of Varbourg, her family will not permit a full postmortem autopsy, and Madeleine and her father are left with a single mysterious clue. Soon after, the priest who held vigil by the dead girl’s corpse is brutally murdered. The thread that connects these two events is a tangled one, and as the death toll mounts, Madeleine must seek knowledge in odd places: behind convent walls, in secret diaries, and in the yellow stare of an aging wolf.
Eloquently written and with powerful insight into human and animal nature, Doctor Death is at once a captivating mystery and a poignant coming-of-age story.
