In the predawn hours of August 10, 2008, employees at a cash-distribution warehouse in suburban Copenhagen, Denmark, heard an ominous rumbling. Moments later, the shovel of a front-end loader crashed through the wall, followed by armed men in balaclavas. They quickly filled athletic bags with more than $10 million in cash, jumped into a fleet of black luxury cars, and sped away. Police trying to reach the scene were stopped by blockades of burning garbage trucks. Before the dust had even settled on the biggest robbery in Danish history, the police knew that they were dealing with the most sophisticated criminals they’d ever seen—and bringing them to justice would be an adventure in its own right.

Drawing on interviews with culprits and cops alike, as well as hundreds of pages of documents, The Copenhagen Job—published in Danish by the digital publisher Zetland and appearing here in English for the first time—tells the inside story of the heist, and of a startling crime wave that has swept Scandinavia in the past decade. Copenhagen-based journalist Line Holm Nielsen goes deep inside an epidemic of straight-out-of-Hollywood armed robberies that shocked what had previously been one of the least crime-ridden corners of the world.

Good read of true crime robbery. Clinical dissection of an international conspiracy to commit a high value theft and the investigation leading to a complex prosecution.

No-Nonsense Account of a Complex Crime

Commenté aux États-Unis le 13 mai 2014

Achat vérifié

"The Copenhagen Job" sketches the story of August 2008 robbery in Copenhagen Thieves took 70 million kroner in cash from Danish Value Handling, a money transporting company. They broke into the company's vault with a huge front-end loader, blocked the streets with burning garbage trucks, and raced away from the scene at over 120 mph in stolen Audis.

A journalist wrote "The Copenhagen Job" with professional objectivity and little speculation. The writing may disappoint readers of thrillers because characterization, drama, and suspense are minimal. True crime readers will enjoy the excellent reportage.

Some readers may wish for more violence. No one fires a shot.

As in many true stories, some questions remain unanswered in the end.

The magazine The Atavist published "The Copenhagen Job" as Issue 36 in April 2014. The text of the piece is a translation of an article that appeared in a Danish magazine. The translation reads well. The editing is professional. The formatting for Kindle spoils the book. When viewed on a Kindle Fire HDX, the chapter numbers overlap the chapter titles in the table of contents. The links in the table of contents and the endnotes work, but the link texts are not the familiar blue.

Excellent journalism on a strange case

Commenté aux États-Unis le 31 juillet 2014

Achat vérifié

This is a real case of bank robbery in Copenhagen, told by a journalist. It is not a mystery novel, I think that people who are disappointed had hoped for some James Patterson novel. The work of the journalist is fabulous, mainly in building before your eyes, day by day, the meticulous job of the police in a case where there was absolutely no clue. The journalist refused to add interpretations and romance, so if you wanted a novel, you'll find this too dry. But what a great and honest job she did!
I found the story fascinating: it calls for a new definition of "circumstantial evidence". Also you have to wonder how a dozen very old-fashioned people attack a bank, as in The Italian Job, instead of stealing the money by computer (they would have taken more money and risk less jail). A bunch of robbers "almost stupid". They are only smart in novels, I guess.

Most interesting for readers interested in investigative detail

Commenté aux États-Unis le 24 mai 2014

Achat vérifié

The Copenhagen Job, first published as e-single by Zetland 2012, written by acclaimed Danish non-fiction writer Line Holm Nielson, translation now available in Amazon e-book.
This non-fiction account is about the largest theft ever accomplished (210 million Kroner from the Danish Cash Transfer followed by 70 million from the Danish Value Handling with a recovery of only 8 million and 3.5 million respectively). It contains the results of interviews with investigators, attorneys for prosecution and defense, witnesses and technicians all describing the meticulous methodology employed by the authorities in attempting to find the perpetrators and the money. Surprisingly, in spite of providing such a staggering amount of detailed information, the pace actually is that of a good novel. Readers interested in such material will find the book very interesting. Reviewed by John H. Manhold, award winning fiction/non-fiction author.

Police Procedural w/Little Drama

Commenté aux États-Unis le 22 mars 2015

Achat vérifié

Police procedural. After gripping opening chapters, which I read in preview, it's the predictable march of dogged detectives through cell phone records, surveillance tapes, intimidating people into talking without lawyers, etc. There's even a chapter devoted to visiting the convicted robbers in jail, all of whom refuse to talk to the author--why?
