Description
Book 1: The Death List
Interpol agent Dorthea Bourgogne gets busy when Interpol discover that a deathlist exists on which Dorthea herself is next in line. Her investigation takes her to castles, dungeons, train roofs and house roofs before the mystery is solved.
Book 2: Lullaby
Interpol agent Dorthea Bourgogne spots the face of an assassin that once tried to kill her.
She goes undercover and is soon dangling from the ropes of a Viking ship before she identifies the assassin’s target and cracks the case.
Book 3: The Castle of Vultures
The conclusion to the previous book, ”Lullaby”. Dorthea wakes up inside a castle tower after having been abducted. She immediately sets out to survive and overcome the culprits, applying various mines and leftover weapons as well as her trusted fist.
Book 4: The Gates of Hell
When Dorthea takes out her horse, Rinaldo, for an endurance ride in Turkmenistan, they encounter a very spooked horse. What happened? The incident takes Dorthea and her horse to the Karakum Desert and to the crater, ”The Gates of Hell”.
Book 5: Phantasm
Dorthea’s XO, Nicky, has a thundering headache. Dorthea soon realises that Nicky is suffering from more than just common pain. Time and aggressive villains are their enemies in their quest to find a cure before Nicky’s head turns to mush.
Book 6: Brat!
Four prequels from Dorthea’s past: 1 – BRAT! describes a pivotal time in her childhood when she encounters a certain Interpol agent for the first time; 2 – Ruh Inche Altyn Dogry concerns her education as an Interpol agent; 3 – The Affair of the Baroness is about how she met the Baron and the Baroness; and finally The Specialist is about how she was appointed a special team.
Book 7: Zoo
Dorthea and her team have to cut short a recreational weekend when they are called in to investigate the disappearance of a colleague. The case brings them to a zoo in Toronto where Dorthea goes undercover as a zookeeper. Apart from birthing giraffes and horny silverbacks, she also encounters a particularly aggressive Siberian tiger and the most vicious species of all: humans!
Book 8: Blood Ties
What is Dorthea doing on the back of Saint Peter? And sporting a shiny desert eagle instead of a key? She is probably pondering about that question herself. Dorthea’s Interpol colleague, Belle, appears to have joined a cult based in Rome. What possessed her do that? Dorthea and the rest of the team travel to Rome and are soon in direct confrontation with statues, aggressive cult leaders and even the Vatican.
