The Last Good Man

According to Jewish
scripture, there are
thirty-six righteous
people on earth. Without
them, humanity would
perish. But the
thirty-six do not know
that they are the chosen
ones. In Beijing, a monk
collapses in his chamber.
A fiery mark has spread
across his back and down
his spine. In Mumbai, a
man who served the poor
dies suddenly. His body
shows the same mark.
Similar deaths are
reported in cities around
the world - the victims
all humanitarians, all
with the same death mark.
In Copenhagen, it falls
to veteran detective
Niels Bentzon to
investigate. He is told
to find eight 'good
people' of Denmark and
warn them of this threat.
But Bentzon is trained to
see the worst in people
and he becomes
increasingly sceptical as
he realizes that not
everyone perceived to be
good is truly good. It is
only when Niels meets
Hannah, a brilliant
astrophysicist mourning
the death of her husband,
that the pair begin to
piece together the puzzle
and a pattern emerges.
There have been
thirty-four deaths and
there are two more to
come. According to the
pattern, Bentzon and
Hannah can predict the
time and place of the
final two. The murders
will occur in Venice and
Copenhagen. And the time
is now.

is about to get married,
while Kitt is slowly
coming to terms with the
loss of her daughter.
Suddenly, the fragile
peace of their world is
shattered when a brutal
murder strikes close to

killer is on the loose,
someone who quickly and
systematically works his
way down a seemingly
unconnected list of
victims. With the body
count rising, MC
realises that she has to
keep her head in the game
and use her grief to fuel
the hunt, but as the
madman draws ever closer,
Kitt and MC begin to
struggle to walk that
fine line between
protecting the law and
taking it into their own
hands.
