The Man on the Motorcycle

THE MAN ON THE MOTORCYCLE, featuring Vilhelm Thygesen, is a suspenseful and murky mystery thriller, and a portrait of Western society in the mid-eighties, when the richer got richer, and more and more ruthless. A 63 year old quarrelsome homeless man with a mobile phone and a big motorcycle disappears. Is he a murderer or has he been murdered? The case is of vital and direct concern to Vilhelm Thygesen – the man who almost never gets shot. He needs to find the answer.
