THE CRIME ACADEMY: Embers of Death (Vol. I)

  • The crime academy: a very special institute that trains up future investigators in a practical, unconventional and dangerous way.

A gruesome burnt corpse, a deadly passion, a sick game of life and death.

“Think like the murderers!” That is what criminologist and former Inspector Zornik preaches at the Academy of Crime in a manor house on the island of Rügen. The students in his course study actual unsolved cases. This semester: a gruesome burnt corpse is found in the Bergen library. The challenge begins: who is the best investigator, Zornik or the newcomers? But the lesson plan soon becomes dangerously serious. When a violent criminal from the past puts a knife to his throat, he knows: they are very close to catching the male or female perpetrator – too close. Now he must do all he can to save both his own life and the lives of his students. For the sinister game of life and death has only just started.
