The Nurse: Kristian Corfixen's Book on the Nykøbing Falster Case

Kristian Corfixen's book "Sygeplejersken" ("The Nurse"), published in 2019, tells the story of one of Denmark's most striking criminal cases - that of the nurse from Nykøbing Falster, a town on the island of Falster in southeastern Denmark, who was convicted of killing patients.

The book offers a detailed look into the complex case in which a nurse was accused of killing patients at Nykøbing Falster Hospital. Corfixen examines not only the legal aspects of the case but also the human and ethical dimensions that made it stand out in Danish legal history.

Through thorough research and journalistic work, the author sheds light on how the suspicion first arose, how the investigation was carried out, and how the trial developed. The book allows readers to understand the complicated circumstances surrounding the case and the burden of proof required to bring it to a conclusion.

"Sygeplejersken" is written in accessible language, making it suitable both for readers with a specific interest in true crime and for those who want to understand how the Danish justice system handles extraordinarily sensitive and complex cases involving crimes committed within the healthcare system.
