Publisher Description
INSPIRATION FOR THE NETFLIX SERIES DEPT. Q
In this tenth installment of the New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling series, the team must solve the cold case that has put their own leader behind bars, a place where his enemies are plentiful and time is quickly running out.
When the head of Department Q, Detective Carl Mørck, finds himself handcuffed in a police car headed for Copenhagen's Vestre prison, he realizes that a violent case from his past has finally caught up with him. But he is being framed. Someone has a million-dollar bounty on his head to make sure he doesn't talk, putting him in grave danger among the prison's incarcerated criminals and corrupt officers.
Carl's colleagues at the Copenhagen Police Department instantly turn their backs on him, leaving the ever-loyal Department Q team as his only hope. With only one another to trust and Carl's battle against the unknown mastermind's henchmen worsening by the day, they must work faster than ever before if they are to clear his name—and save his life.
Customer Reviews
Not up to standards
I’ve read all the previous Department Q books and was really looking forward to this one. Unfortunately, Mr Adler-Olsen would have done his readers a favor by NOT writing it and leaving a bad taste in our mouths.
The story, such as it was … was not believable, the characters have grown scale and the translation was shaky.
I’ll end it here before I say something really nasty.
Disappointing finale to a fine series
The first third of this novel is so turgid that one would think Adler-Olsen was getting paid by the word. It does pick up pace and interest...but I wouldn't have finished it if I hadn't bought it. Too bad.
