Nils Bentzon, a brilliant police negotiator, is not loved by his superiors. Therefore, it is he who is being pushed with a case that came from Interpol - supposedly someone is killing righteous people all over the world, and the turn has come to Denmark. While all the police forces are deployed to guard Bentzon’s climate summit, so as not to get in the way, they are tasked with finding unconditionally good people in Copenhagen and warning them about the possible danger. But a brilliant scientist gets involved. Hannah Lund: she manages to calculate the exact time of the crime. But where and how to find a righteous person in a big city, and most importantly, who should they consider these days? The novel, built on a historical and cultural foundation, gives a broad and detailed picture of Danish life, poses social and existential questions, and is incredibly easy to read. “The Last Righteous Man” has already been translated into eighteen languages and has become a very notable event in literary life.

“The Last Righteous Man,” with its very rich palette of complex emotions and complex characters with unusual problems, leaves no chance for disappointment in oneself. This novel has everything I look for in a thriller - story, mystery, conspiracy, pacing, adventure and international context. Try it, you'll like it.Steve Berry
