Darklands: An Ulrik Torp Thriller

By Niels Krause-Kjær

Sinister elements of the Danish Deep State plot a silent coup against democracy in this propulsive thriller set at the perilous intersection of media and politics.

Mere days before a critical parliamentary election in Denmark, a muckraking independent journalist is killed by a car bomb. Then, a promising young civil servant in the Danish Interior Ministry is found murdered, execution-style. It seems the two victims had recently gotten wind of widespread fraud and corruption at the highest levels of government.

Hired off the welfare rolls by the Daily News, recently laid-off newspaperman Ulrik Torp starts looking into the crimes. Together with a student intern, he follows the trail of deception to a small circle of former politicians and top officials and a shadowy, private, US-backed intelligence agency known as the Firm. Inexorably, Ulrik is plunged into the dark world of "fake news"-and the fate of Danish democracy hangs in the balance.

From journalist and former political operative Niels Krause-Kj r, Darklands is a twisty tale of conspiracy and intrigue that dares to ask the chilling question: What happens when the good guys go bad?
