The Guardian Angel

Detective Anders Olsen is tasked with unraveling a perplexing case involving a bank heist in which the robber shoots two employees before fleeing through the streets of Copenhagen with the stolen cash. Upon his capture, the suspect insists he acted alone. However, some witnesses describe the robber as appearing to be in a trance, adding an unusual twist to the investigation. Olsen discovers that the suspect previously shared a cell with the enigmatic Björn Schow Nielsen, leading him to suspect that Nielsen may have hypnotized the man into committing the robbery on his behalf. But is such a scenario possible, and if so, how can the real mastermind be apprehended? To explore this theory, Olsen consults a renowned psychiatrist who specializes in hypnosis, diving into the complexities of psychological manipulation. Engrossed in the case, Olsen fails to notice that the elusive Nielsen has quietly formed a friendship with his young wife, bringing the investigation uncomfortably close to home.
