And an extremely hungry dog.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDame Charlotte Lazerton - eminent art historian and mentor of Danish academic Torben Helle - is dead. And to make things worse, she was found partially eaten by her Irish wolfhound, Mortimer. While the police believe that she died of natural causes, Torben becomes convinced that Charlotte was murdered, although as usual no-one pays any attention to him. That is, until he gains the confidence of a policeman who has watched too many Nordic Noir television shows, and is ready to listen to any Scandinavian in a fetching woolly jumper. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAided by his old friend Leyla, Torben soon realises that there are plenty of people who might have wanted Dame Charlotte dead, from her competitors for a prestigious academic presidency, to old enemies from her time in intelligence during the Cold War. One thing is for sure: Torben Helle is woefully unqualified to catch a killer, and the killer knows it...\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis witty murder mystery puts a modern spin on the classic Golden Age whodunnit.
