New York Times and internationally bestselling author
Jussi Adler-Olsen returns with the sixth book in his
exhilarating Department Q series, featuring Detective Carl
Mørck and his enigmatic assistants, Assad and Rose.
In the middle of his usual 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 when he
realizes that a new case is being foisted on him, but a few
hours later, he receives some shocking news that leaves his
headstrong assistant Rose more furious than usual. Carl 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 strange sun worshipping cult, where Carl,
Assad, Rose, and newcomer Gordon attempt to stop a string of
new murders and a skilled manipulator who refuses to let
anything—or anyone—get in the way.
