Summary
The Marco Effect
All fifteen-year-old Marco wants is to become a Danish citizen and be a normal teenager. But his uncle Zola forces the children of his former gypsy clan to beg and steal for him. Then Marco discovers a dead body -- proving the extent of Zola's crimes -- and he runs. The last thing Detective Carl Mørck needs is a missing persons case. Then he learns that the teen may have as much insight into the case as he has fear of the police, and Carl is determined to save the boy.
