Chapter 3

Gustav Kräsen's true identity

Friday 23 February 2018.

The road he is driving on is gradually changing in colour; from dark-

greyish hew to completely white due to the continuing heavy snowfall. There are

no people and the cars he passes by could be counted on one hand. A few months
earlier, this stretch of road had been filled to the brim with eager Christmas

shoppers. Now it is as quiet as it possibly could be. Only a few shops are partly lit

by lighting but most of them are entirely seeped in darkness. The high electricity
prices mean that even on the country's most exclusive shops are in full lightning

always.

With the attack on Kronborg, one of the most known national treasures in
Denmark, where the story of Hamlet took place, the country has been hit in the

heart. So far, everything is in a “state of emergency" as the Prime Minister put it

late last night in a press conference.
"We are under attack and the entire state force is deployed to defend the

country and protect our citizens"
