THE NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR | 27 MILLION BOOKS SOLD | WINNER OF THE GLASS KEY AWARD

In a Copenhagen park the body of an elderly woman is discovered. Though the case bears a striking resemblance to another unsolved homicide from over a decade ago, the police cannot find any connection between the two victims.

Across town a group of young women are being hunted down. The attacks seem random, but could these brutal acts of violence be related? Detective Carl Mørck of Department Q is charged with solving the mystery.

Back at headquarters, Carl and his team are under pressure to deliver results: failure to meet his superiors' expectations will mean the end of Department Q. Solving the case, however, is not their only concern. After a breakdown, their colleague Rose is struggling to deal with the ghosts of her past - a past seemingly connected to one of the division's most sinister case-files.

It is up to Carl, Assad and Gordon to unearth the dark and violent truth plaguing Rose before it is too late.

Started following Jussi after watching Dept Q. Thoroughly enjoyed the various story lines and characters. Great narrative - couldn’t put down. Definitely a new favourite author.

Not the usual detective story.
