Thriller #1 in the Mirrin Bank Trilogy.
A 5.000-year-old calendar is found under Denmark's oldest church floor.
The calendar counts down to Ragnarok…
On a bench in the summer-happy Tivoli, retired professor Bjarne Arnesen shoots himself in the forehead. His stepson, the Cavling award-winning journalist Kurt Østergård, receives a video message from him 28 months later. Arnesen asks Kurt to stop them, as Arnesen himself has clearly not succeeded, and to continue where he left off. This leads Kurt to a discovery that has major consequences – not just for Kurt, but for Denmark and the royal family. At the same time, radiation expert and former weapons inspector for the UN, Søren Storm, is asked to help the police in solving a radiation-related murder committed at Rigshospitalet. The macabre and bizarre murder leads Storm on the trail of a radioactive bomb that could go off somewhere in Copenhagen at any moment. Just around the corner awaits the queen's big anniversary party with prominent guests from home and abroad.
The time of the stone is the first 7 days of a coherent narrative that takes place 14 days during the celebration of the Queen's jubilee. Angels of the Apocalypse og Anti-chaos shared over the next 7 days.
