The Susan Effect

"All charges against you and your family members will be dropped. In return, we want you to interrogate one person..." Susanne's special talent, a scientist-physicist and a mother from an exemplary Danish family, is her ability to inspire trust in people. Becoming a hostage of an unknown organization preparing the evacuation of society's elite in anticipation of an impending socio-economic catastrophe, she is forced to search for the remaining members of the secret analytical center of the 1970s - the "Commission of the Future." But the investigation assigned to her gradually turns into her own... To many readers of Høeg, the heroine of this book will undoubtedly remind them of Smilla: in character, views on life, and the habit of carrying a small chisel with her - just in case.
