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.

Fantastic Finale

I am going to miss the hell outta these characters, and their exploits!! One of my all time fave mystery series, and the way the author brought everything full circle was simply beautiful…. Only bad thing about entire series was the near constant change of narrators…. Pronunciations and accents kept changing….

Is this the last?

As usual, an excellent book that you can’t put down, but I am sad thinking that this was the last one, if as indicated at the end

Excellent plot

Excellent plot and narration couldn’t stop listening Hope there will be more books written with all characters

Beautifully creative and clever… I’ll miss it

Character development maintains strong intricate plot, subtle humor entertaining as always, and successful closure at the correct moment.

Seeking Answers

This book attempts to answer many questions that Carl may not even be aware of at the beginning of the book. Through many tribulations Carl discovers that by being human, he can solve the unknown.

Complete!

After watching the Netflix department Q, I found other film versions of The Keeper of Lost Causes and other Department Q novels and then transitioned to listening to the entire series. Some I liked, some I didn’t, but overall this is a great series because of the characters’ depth and the crimes breadth.

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!
