De: Jussi Adler-Olsen, Caroline Waight - translator

Narrado por: Steven Pacey

The New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling Department Q series comes to a thrilling conclusion when the team must turn inward to 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.

On the day after Christmas, head of Department Q, Detective Carl Mørck, finds himself handcuffed in a police car headed for Copenhagen's Vestre prison. After fifteen years, a violent case from his past has caught up with him. Charges of drug trafficking and murder threaten to destroy his life and career. 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. The question that remains is, Why?

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. In search of answers, Rose, Assad, and Gordon must disobey direct orders from way up the chain to try to unravel the case. 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.

Incredible finish to a great series

I have been waiting for the audio book for months, if not years! I had pre-ordered it before I went blind, so I now had to buy Audible version. I have always loved the characters, the plot, the reveal over time. I had just finished another authors finale with disappointment. This did not disappoint. The narrator was excellent. A beautiful bringing together of all threads. But I recommend you read them in order. Highest praise for a crime series.

Great end to the 10 book series

Each book in this series was incredibly interesting.
Loved how the series came full circle. What a great finale.

Excellent!

what a great way to spend time. listening to a story about great characters, well conceived story. just so entertaining. Just what I needed. last one in the series? Probably, but hopefully not.

Brilliant

I will miss Department Q! Thank you Jussi for the many hours of smiles, thrills, mysteries, grumpy inspired Carl, wonderful Assad and the whole Q family. Thank goodness I can go back and listen to them all again!

Roller Coaster Ride

This latest and hopefully not last Department Q book was twisty-turny, scary, and incredible. The author pulled out all the stops… maybe it’s the finale? Who knows…but it is a well crafted, complex story and satisfying. As others have commented, the narrator has a limited repertoire of accents, especially some of the minor characters. What’s going on with Eddie the cop from Rotterdam? He and his wife sounded like lispy Peter Lorre characters. Luckily for me I was able to get past the wonky narration and get immersed in the story. Someday soon I’ll go back and listen to the series again in order.

Another Department Q Success

It was so good to see our old friends at Department Q again. The book was reviting from start to finish. There were so many twists and turns in the story that you could not tell how Carl Merck could survive this time. I hope we will see him again very soon.

Q Love

I loved that the story came full circle and everyone turned out okay. I stumbled upon The Keeper of Lost Causes a few years ago and it took me on this wonderful journey. I’m sorry it is ending. Thank you Jussi!

Great storytelling as usual

The characters
The story
The writing, I laughed, I cried and I was happy.
Thank you Mr Adler

Please don’t go

Please please don’t end the Department Q series. I would be so sad not spending time with Carl, Asad, Rose and Gordon. I have so enjoyed all the books.

The Best Dept. Q yet
