Dronningeofret

Elizabeth Meyer, chair of the Danish Social Democrats, has one mission: to win the general election that is about to be called and bring her party back into government, with her protégée Charlotte Damgaard positioned to follow her. Decades in Danish and international politics have taught her that power has a price, so she stays calm when Islamist fundamentalists threaten her life. The enemy she fears is another one: for three years she has known that she suffers from an incurable, creeping dementia. The novel follows her race against time to reach her goals before the illness is discovered, while others pursue hidden plans of their own for Denmark's future.
