2000s: Liv’s father told her she’s be safe
2000s: Liv’s father told her she’s be safe
Liv died when she was just six years old. At least, that’s what the authorities think.
Her father knew he was the only one who could keep her safe in this world. So one evening he left the isolated house his little family called home, he pushed their boat out to sea and watched it ruin on the rocks. Then he walked the long way into town to report his only child missing.
But behind the boxes and the baskets crowding her Dad’s workshop, Liv was hiding. This way her Dad had said, she’d never have to go to school; this way, she’d never have to leave her parents.
This way, Liv would be safe.

A fictional setting for obvious reasons. There is only one setting in this story and that’s inside the mind of the child. The author however lives in the small Danish community of Liseleje. It was this summer village that inspired Riel’s first novel for adults, Slagteren i Liseleje (The Butcher of Liseleje), which was awarded the Debut Prize by the Danish Crime Academy.
