THE NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR

WINNER OF THE GLASS KEY AWARD

In this heart-pounding installment of the No.1 bestselling Department Q series, a terrifying international investigation reveals the complex backstory of one of the department's own - the enigmatic Assad.

The newspaper refers to the dead body only as Victim 2117 - the two thousand, one hundred and seventeenth refugee to die in the Mediterranean Sea.

But to three people, the victim is so much more, and the death sets off a chain of events that throws Department Q, Copenhagen's cold cases division led by Detective Carl Mørck, into a deeply dangerous - and deeply personal - case: a case that not only reveals dark secrets about the past, but has deadly implications for the future.

For a troubled Danish teen, the death of Victim 2117 becomes a symbol of everything he resents and is the perfect excuse to unleash his murderous impulses. For Ghallib, a brutal tormentor from the notorious prison Abu Ghraib, the death of Victim 2117 was the first step in a terrorist plot, years in the making. And for Department Q's Assad, Victim 2117 is a link to his buried past and to the family he assumed was long dead.

Love having Stephen back as the narrator. I skipped the last two books due to the change, but I'm back on board with Stephen's return. Worth the credit.

Another great entry

I enjoyed this addition to the Dept Q series as I have grown interested in the characters. The book had its narrative limitations but I did appreciate the fleshing out of the Asad character. Adler Olsen has laid the groundwork for further installments.

Finally, the backstory for Asad

Steven Pacey’s narrations of the stories of Department Q are the best. This was a really good listen!

Stephen Pacey is a superb narrator bringing characters alive with wit and sarcasm. The plot twists and turns and does not have to be read in order of the series, the story is wonderful by itself. There is only one in the series not narratored by Stephen Pacey and its not good. Just goes to show - don't change your narrators.

Great story in the Q Department Series
