Not bad, eh! The plot of the novel revolves around Red Cross nurse Nina Borg. Nina is a person who does her best to save the world one person at a time, so when she gets a frantic call from her estranged friend Karin she can’t say no. She’s given a key to a locker in the Copenhagen train station and in the locker she finds a naked and drugged three-year old boy! Is he a victim of child trafficking? Soon she plunged into a mystery that may end up costing her, her life. Quickly, she is racing across Denmark to find out who the boy is and where he belongs!! the Washington Posts says:

“Terrific…. Once you start reading, you can’t stop – it’s as if the poor kid’s life depends on your getting to the end as fast as possible”

I enjoyed the book particularly the last 100 plus pages when all the various pieces of the puzzle began to be put together! So if you are a fan of good reads, not just Nordic fiction check this one out!! Lene Kaaberbol has sold more than two million books worldwide as a fantasy write and Agnette Friis is a journalist and children’s writer The Boy in the Suitcase is their first collaboration. The second which also features Nina Borg is Invisible Murder!
