The No. 1 International Bestselling Author, with over 27 million books sold, returns with his most captivating and suspenseful novel yet. In a Copenhagen park, the body of an elderly woman is discovered, bearing a striking resemblance to another unsolved homicide from over a decade ago. The police cannot find any connection between the two victims. Across town, a group of young women is being hunted down. The attacks seem random, but could they be related? Detective Carl Mørck of Department Q is charged with solving the mystery.

Back at headquarters, Carl and his team are under pressure to deliver results: failure to meet their superiors' expectations will mean the end of Department Q. Solving the case, however, is not their only concern. After a breakdown, their colleague Rose is struggling to deal with the ghosts of her past, a past seemingly connected to one of the division's most sinister case-files. It is up to Carl, Assad, and Gordon to unearth the dark and violent truth plaguing Rose before it is too late.

Translated by William Frost, this novel is perfect for fans of Stieg Larsson and Jo Nesbo.
