Book
The arc of the swallow / S. J. Gazan ; translated from the Danish by Charlotte Barslund.
Biology Ph.D. candidate Marie Skov is devastated when, on the same day as her mother's death, her mentor apparently kills himself. He had been facing academic dishonesty charges, as well as heated criticism of his research on a vaccine for African children. Skov is skeptical that the death was a suicide. Soon afterwards, a car with tinted windows parks across from Skov's home. The police have no interest in re-examining the case. But Marhauge shares Skov's desire for answers, and defies his superiors to help her investigate.

S.J. Gazan graduated from the University of Copenhagen with a graduate degree in biology. By incorporating science with murder, and recognizing the secrets and drama of everyday life, Sissel-Jo Gazan has found a unique style that makes her stand out on the Scandinavian crime writing scene.
Her debut work of crime fiction, The Dinosaur Feather, was awarded the 2008 Denmark Radio Literature Prize for Best Novel of the Year and went on to become an international bestseller. The Danish Broadcasting Corporation voted The Dinosaur Feather the Crime Novel of the Decade, and in January 2013, it was awarded the Literature Prize of the Ambassadors of the French-Speaking Countries. The Dinosaur Feather made the top 10 lists of 2014 for both The Wall Street Journal and NPR. It has been sold into more than a dozen countries. Gazan lives in Berlin with her husband and two children.
