We are delighted to announce that the two acclaimed Danish Nordic Noir authors, Lone Theils and Heidi Amsinck, will be joining us at this year’s Danish Fair!

From 11am to 1pm, visitors can stop by our book stall to meet and greet the authors, purchase their latest novels, and have them signed. Both authors have recently released new titles that continue to captivate readers with their distinctive voices and sharp storytelling.

Lone Theils is the author of the popular Nora Sand series, the first of which, Pigerne fra Englandsbåden (Fatal Crossing), has been adapted for television and aired on Channel 4. Season 2 is currently in production. In her latest thriller, En djævelsk plan, the story begins at a summer party at the Danish Church in London, where a Danish couple makes a desperate plea for help in finding their missing daughter. Let’s hope we leave that part to fiction!

Heidi Amsinck is the author of the Copenhagen-based Jensen series, which follows a crime reporter through a gripping new case. Her latest novel, Out of the Dark, has just been released. A former journalist and BBC Radio 4 contributor, Heidi has also written numerous critically acclaimed short stories for radio.

While Lone lives in Denmark and writes in Danish about the UK, Heidi lives in the UK and writes in English about Denmark – two sides of the same Nordic Noir coin.
