    Skyldig. Ét enkelt ord på en tiggers papskilt. Og nu er han død, stukket ihjel på gaden i det vinterlige København. Det er den anden hjemløse fundet knivdræbt inden for kort tid. Dagbladets reporter Jensen snubler nærmest over liget indhyllet i sne på vej til redaktionen en tidlig morgen. Hjemvendt efter femten år i London har hun ikke længere et stort netværk, og hun ringer til kriminalkommissær Henrik Jungersen, som hun engang har haft en intens affære med. Gamle følelser genoplives, og det samme gør gamle fortrydelser. Det viser sig dog kun at være begyndelsen på Jensens problemer. Hendes chef, den legendariske chefredaktør Margrethe Skov, er stærkt utilfreds med, at Jensen ikke har brugt sit førstehåndskendskab til sagen til at sikre Dagbladet forsidehistorien. Men Jensen vil hellere til bunds i, hvad der er sket med den unge mand. Da et tredje lig dukker op, virker det indlysende, at en seriemorder står bag. ’’Mit navn er Jensen’’ er første bind i Heidi Amsincks krimiserie, som foregår i hjertet af København med den kvindelige journalist Jensen i hovedrollen. Om forfatteren:Heidi Amsinck (f. 1967 i København) er uddannet journalist og har siden 1992 boet og arbejdet i London, bl.a. som korrespondent for Børsen og Jyllands-Posten. Som barn var hun besat af Brødrene Grimms eventyr, men det var Roald Dahls sorthumoristiske ’’Skæbnefortællinger’’ på dansk tv i 1970erne, der for alvor grundlagde en livslang fascination af uhygge og menneskers mørke sider. Hun skriver i dag på engelsk og er fortælleren bag en stribe dunkle skæbnenoveller, bl.a. produceret for BBC Radio 4. Med ’’Mit navn er Jensen’’ debuterer hun som krimiforfatter.

    Copenhagen is a mysterious city where strange and sinister things often happen.Menacing and at times darkly humorous there are echoes of Roald Dahl and Daphne du Maurier in these stories, many of which have been specially commissioned for BBC Radio 4.From the commuter who bitterly regrets falling asleep on a late-night train in Last Train to Helsingør, to the mushroom hunter prepared to kill to guard her secret in The Chanterelles of Østvig.Here, the land of "hygge" becomes one of twilight and shadows, as canny antique dealers and property sharks get their comeuppance at the hands of old ladies in Conning Mrs Vinterberg, and ghosts go off-script in The Wailing Girl.Deliciously dark and chilling, this is Nordic Noir at its finest.Heidi Amsinck, a writer and journalist born in Copenhagen, spent many years covering Britain for the Danish press, including a spell as London Correspondent for the broadsheet daily Jyllands-Posten. She has written numerous short stories for radio, including the three-story sets Danish Noir, Copenhagen Confidential and Copenhagen Curios, all produced by Sweet Talk for BBC Radio 4. A graduate of the MA in Creative Writing at Birkbeck, University of London, Heidi lives in London. She was previously shortlisted for the VS Pritchett Memorial Prize. Last Train to Helsingør is her first published collection of stories. Her crime novel My Name is Jensen, set in Copenhagen, will be published in August 2021.
