The Seventh child
(Book)

All the best homes are by the water -- that's what the good matron of Kongslund Orphanage tells her small charges. But at this particular house by the sea, not all is as it appears. The treachery centers around the "seven dwarves" - seven children who all shared the infant nursery at Kongslund over forty years ago - and extends to the farthest reaches of society, ensnaring top government officials, doyens of society, and media celebrities alike. Someone is dead set on revealing secrets long harbored at Denmark's vaunted refuge for unwanted children, but to what end? And are the secrets of the stories orphanage really worth killing for?
