Pekelné léto – Faber Kim (2022)

It is summer and terribly hot. Juncker, even after the death of his father, remains in Sandsted and is not doing well. The body of a local lawyer is found in the park, and Juncker begins to investigate. It turns out not only that he knew the deceased, but he also learns more about his father. His wife Charlotte, an investigative journalist, receives an anonymous tip suggesting that the terrorist attack in Copenhagen, which destroyed the Christmas spirit in Denmark six months ago, could have been prevented. Charlotte smells a good story, so she turns to her husband, who investigated the case. Juncker knows what happened back then, but he doesn't want to help his wife because he feels it could endanger them both. Eventually, the journalist starts to get help from Signe, Juncker's former partner, who was also involved in the investigation, but unlike Juncker, she feels that the truth needs to be uncovered. Both women begin to investigate and find themselves in dramatic situations. Hellish Summer is a loose continuation of the first case in the series about Martin Juncker and Signe Kristiansen, Tough Winter.
