Death Of A Nightingale (Paperback, UK ed.)

Natasha Doroshenko, a Ukrainain woman who has been arrested for murdering her Danish fiance, escapes police custody on her way to an interrogation in Copenhagen's police headquarters. It isn't the first time Natasha has lost a partner to violent ends: her first husband was also murdered, three years earlier in Kiev, and in the same manner: his hands broken. At the same time, someone tries to abduct Natasha's daughter from the Red Cross centre that has been caring for her while her mother, an illegal immigrant, was in jail."
