The Kaldan and Schafer series spans five books published between 2017 and 2023. The Corpse Flower introduced the pairing of journalist Heloise Kaldan and detective Erik Schafer, establishing a dynamic where the journalist’s instincts and the detective’s authority create both friction and results. The listing includes both the original Danish editions and international translations, including a Finnish edition (Ruumiskukka) and a Swedish edition.
The series builds from standalone cases toward a more connected narrative as the relationship between Kaldan and Schafer deepens across investigations. Ruthless (2023) is the most recent entry in the series.
