Cecilie Mars

The crime series CECILIE MARS is based on Michael Katz Krefeld’s bestselling Danish trilogy: Darkness Calls, Beast in the Night, and Dawn of the Executioners, with each book adapted into a season. Cecilie Mars appears to be in control of her life. She’s good at her job as a police detective, has a steamy secret affair with a colleague from the Public Prosecutor’s office, and is a role model to the youngsters of Bellahøj, Copenhagen’s ghetto-neighborhood, where she coaches local girls in self-defense. All is good. Cecilie harbors a secret. As a young girl, she was raped by a man who was never found and thus went unpunished. She understands the victims she meets on the job and is willing to go much further—much further—than her colleagues to secure justice. Her secret fuels her success—but also drives her too far. When one of her self-defense students is raped and the rapist isn’t detained, Cecilie, furious, takes matters into her own hands. Tailing him, the pursuit turns fatal.
