Get to know the detective in charge of Copenhagen's coldest cases in
the first electrifying Department Q mystery from New York Times
bestselling author Jussi Adler-Olsen.
Carl Mørck used to be one of Denmark's best homicide detectives. Then a
hail of bullets destroyed the lives of two fellow cops, and Carl--who
didn't draw his weapon--blames himself. So a promotion is the last thing
he expects. But Department Q is a department of one, and Carl's got only
a stack of cold cases for company. His colleagues snicker, but Carl may
have the last laugh, because one file keeps nagging at him: a liberal
politician vanished five years earlier and is presumed dead. But she
isn't dead...yet.
Darkly humorous, propulsive, and atmospheric, The Keeper of Lost
Causes introduces American readers to the mega-bestselling series fast
becoming an international sensation.
