About this listen

The no. 1 international bestselling author

Winner of the Glass Key Award

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.

Perfect for fans of Mick Herron, Tim Weaver and Jo Nesbo.

Sometimes laugh out loud funny, so well executed. The story this time around was too long winded, but the characters made up for it

I love the characters.
