The Daughter

Widowed at forty, Ilka Nichols Jensen leads a modest, uneventful life in Copenhagen. Until unexpected news rocks her quiet existence. Her father—who suddenly and inexplicably walked out on the family more than three decades ago—has died. And he's left her something in his will: his funeral home. In Racine, Wisconsin.
Clinging to this last shred of family connection, Ilka makes an uncharacteristically rash decision. She flies to Wisconsin, hoping to find some insight into her father's life in America before preparing the business for a quick sale. But when she stumbles on an unsolved murder, and a killer who seems to be very much alive, the undertaker's daughter realizes she might be in over her head . . .

The Daughter was previously published as The Undertaker's Daughter.
