Den konverterede muslim Wahid Abu Svensson - med øgenavnet ´Imamen´ - bliver halshugget i sit gamle hus, dybt inde i en skov i det nordlige Halland. Opklaringen prioriteres imidlertid lavt hos Göteborgs politi, da de fleste tror, at forbryderen er den lokale nazist, og at han nok snart vil tilstå. Sådan kommer det imidlertid ikke til at gå.Kort tid efter det første mord myrdes endnu en imam i Århus, og efter karrikatur-krisen vækker mordet straks international opmærksomhed, og de danske myndigheder sætter alle til rådighed stående midler ind på at finde gerningsmanden. Man frygter naturligvis, at det skal hedde sig i Mellemøsten -­ og i Sverige, at det er den danske stat, som har myrdet den unge imam fra Grimhøjmoskeen i forstaden Gellerup. Eksporten er følsom, og tanken om erhvervslivets fleksible topfolk fremkalder nervøse trækninger hos ordensmagtens ledende kommissærer.Udsigten til at opklare mordene er ikke gode, ingen i Göteborgs politi er meget for at tage til Århus. Derfor hyres den tidligere kriminalopdager Jan Åkesson til opgaven. Han taler dansk og udfører af og til specialopgaver for svensk politi, efter at han sammen med sin kæreste, Helena Maria Cirio, opklarede mordet på Olof Palme.

A landmark publication that captures the beautiful richness of every aspect of trees and their importance for science, culture and the future of humankind. Trees feed us, shelter us, inspire us and heal us. In a world facing the destruction of the Amazon rainforest and a pressing climate emergency, the importance of these primeval beings in shaping our future is hard to understate. Generously illustrated and organized according to tree lifecycle - from seeds, leaves and form to wood, flowers and fruit - this book celebrates the great diversity and beauty of the 60,000 tree species that inhabit our planet. Exquisite details are rendered by surprising photography and infographics: intricate bark and leaf patterns, intertwined ecosystems, colourful flower displays, archaic wooden wheels and timber houses. Integral to science, art and culture, fundamental and fragile, dependent and depended on, the vitality of trees is revealed like never before.

Two stories, one harrowing tale. Switching between 2014 and 991 AD, history endeavours to repeat itself. If DCI William Constable is to catch a killer and expose an international drug trafficking ring before it is too late, he will need to stray from the path to which fate has called him.

Vi har de døde med os handler om de sidste halvandet år af besættelsen. Forfatteren og historikeren Paul Smith lader de små historier træde frem, komiske og underfundige. De små og større fortællinger væves sammen og en af de vigtigste epoker i Danmarkshistorien bliver fortalt på en ny og vedkommende måde. Et eksempel: den unge Viggo Kampmann fulgte tit med statsministeren, den 62-årige Vilhelm Buhl, hjem fra Finansministeriet, når de skulle med linje 5 til Amager. De var blevet venner og ifølge Kampmann var der opstået en slags far-søn-forhold. På bagperronen med maskinstøj og rystelser kunne de tale frit om det meste uden at vække opmærksomhed. På Amagerbrogade stod Buhl af, mens Kampmann fortsatte 4-5 stoppesteder til villaen på Luganovej som også var mødested for Frit Danmark og i resten af krigen blev der med Wilhelm Buhls viden trukket store beløb fra Finansministeriets kasse, som finansierede modstandsbevægelsens arbejde. Sådanne velfortalte historier fra dagbøgernes inderste mørke er typiske for Smiths tre bøger, der tilsammen tegner et forrygende og uundværligt billede af det danske liv og en danske måde under det som historikerne kalder de fem forbandede år.
