Mercy

Department Q, Book 1

De: Jussi Adler-Olsen

Narrado por: Steven Pacey

The unabridged, digital audiobook edition of Jussi Adler-Olsen’s Mercy, Scandinavia’s new bestselling crime phenomenon.

Read by the actor Steven Pacey. At first the prisoner scratches at the walls until her fingers bleed. But there is no escaping the room. With no way of measuring time, her days, weeks, months go unrecorded. She vows not to go mad. She will not give her captors the satisfaction. She will die first. Copenhagen detective Carl has been taken off homicide to run a newly created department for unsolved crimes. His first case concerns Merete Lynggaard, who vanished five years ago. Everyone says she's dead. Everyone says it’s a waste of time. He thinks they’re right.

The voice in the dark is distorted, harsh and without mercy. It says the prisoner’s torture will only end when she answers one simple question. It is one she has asked herself a million times: WHY is this happening?

Fantastic Crime Thriller From Denmark

One of the best crime novels I have ever experienced. This can be favorably compared to the best of Michael Connelly, James Lee Burke, John Sanford and Henning Mankell. A powerful, emotional ending that will remain with me.

Great Audible listen

Loved the humour, the characterisations are so lively & brilliant and the plot twists and turns make it un-put-down-able! Looking forward with glee, to the next in this series.

Funny, thrilling

Great race against time, perfect story, funny detective’s assistant , I have enjoyed the book so much!

Tremendous drama.

I could not stop listening. Was absolutely enthralled the entire time. So well narrated. Can't wait to read another.

Riveting Scandinavian thriller

Best thriller I have read (listened) for a long time. Steven Pacey is a marvellous narrator and I can't wait to follow other books by Adler Olsen.
