Resumen del Editor

In the exhilarating penultimate thriller of the New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling Department Q series, the team must hunt for a nefarious criminal who has slipped under the radar for decades.

On her sixtieth birthday, a woman takes her own life. When the case lands on Detective Carl Mørck’s desk, he can’t imagine what this has to do with Department Q, Copenhagen’s cold cases division since the cause of death seems apparent. However, his superior, Marcus Jacobsen, is convinced that this is related to an unsolved case that has been plaguing him since 1988.

At Marcus's behest, Carl and the Department Q gang—Rose, Assad, and Gordon—reluctantly begin to investigate. And they quickly discover that Marcus is onto something: Every two years for the past three decades, there have been unusual, impeccably timed deaths with connections between them that cannot be ignored, including mysterious piles of salt at the scenes. As the investigation goes deeper, it emerges that these "accidents" are in fact part of a sinister murder scheme.

Faced with their toughest case yet, made only more difficult by COVID-19 restrictions and the challenges of their personal lives, the Department Q team must race to find the culprit before the next murder is committed, as it is becoming increasingly clear that the killer is far from finished.

Adler-Olsen does it again!

Incredibly story and an ending that leaves you begging for more!!!!! When is the next book dropping?!?!!

Department Q!

Really great! Everything I expect from Department Q! Funny and horrifying and nail-biting. Thanks

Another great case with Assad Rose and Carl

This was less of a heart-wringer than the previous book—thank goodness, and it was a well-wrought main story, quite satisfying. But it was maddening to find the sub plot unresolved. Write quickly, Jussi Adler Olson!

WHEN IS THE NEXT ONE?!

I have loved this entire series and have been waiting so long for this book to come out.
I can’t believe I’m going to have to wait again for the next one.
This series is WONDERFUL!

Oh the tension!

TEAM Q rides again. I hope next installment is underway and narrator is ready to add his unique style to all the characters.

Enjoyed it!

Interesting, strange but enjoyable at the same time. I am guessing the cliffhanger is at the end where he is arrested? Waiting for the next book in the series.

If only the next one was ready to go now...

This is a wonderful series. The ninth book does not disappoint, The mystery is engrossing and keeps up pace. The only possible complaint is that the storylines for the denizens of Department Q are featured a bit less in this book. And without giving anything away it ends on a real cliff hanger. Want the next book ASAP!

couldn't stop listening!!

As always, Jussi Adler-Olsen is spinning a gripping story. I just loved it. And Graeme Malcolm is the best narrator for these kinds of stories.

Best Dept Q book ever

I LOVE all of the Dept. Q books but this one was the most intriguing! The Q team members are stupendous and with each book we learn more and more about the team member’s life and talents. J Aussi is one of the best plot writers ever!!!

Very suspenseful

The best part of this series is the relationship between the hero and leader of Department Q, Carl morck, and members of the squad. This is an excellent addition to the series…
