Amagermanden: The Hunt for a Serial Attacker

This true crime book tells the story of the notorious case of Amagermanden, a serial offender who terrorized women in the Copenhagen area throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

The book delves into the long hunt for the perpetrator, who carried out a series of brutal attacks on lone women, primarily in Amager. For years, women in the area lived in fear while police worked intensively to identify the unknown attacker.

The case became one of Denmark's most talked-about criminal cases, one that wasn't solved until many years after the first assaults. The book describes both the criminal acts, the police investigation, and the long road to solving the case.

Through detailed research and source material, the author paints a picture of how police systematically worked toward identifying the perpetrator, and the challenges involved in the investigation in an era before modern DNA technology was fully developed.

The book offers insight into the methods used in the hunt, and how the case affected both the victims and the local community for many years.
