THE NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR OVER 23 MILLION BOOKS SOLD WINNER OF THE GLASS KEY AWARD 'Scandinavian crime novels don't get much darker than Jussi Adler-Olsen's Department Q police procedurals ' New York Times Book Review In the middle of a hard-won morning nap in the basement of police headquarters, Carl Mørck, head of Department Q, receives a call from a colleague working on the Danish island of Bornholm. Carl is dismissive at first, but then he receives some shocking news. Carl then has no choice but to lead Department Q into the tragic cold case of a vivacious seventeen-year-old girl who vanished from school, only to be found dead hanging high up in a tree. The investigation will take them from the remote island of Bornholm to a hidden cult, where Carl and his assistants must stop a string of new murders by a skilled manipulator who refuses to let anything-or anyone-get in the way. Praise for Jussi Adler-Olsen's Department Q series: 'Everything you could possibly want from a thriller and much, much more' Kirkus 'Adler-Olsen is the new "it" boy of Nordic Noir' The Times 'Engrossing' Sunday Express 'Gripping storytelling' Guardian 'As impressive as it is unnerving' Independent
