About this listen
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.

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.

Outstanding
A detective story of great intrigue. A cold case like no other. It kept my attention from beginning to end. A very, very good translation. The main character is superb. Difficult, obstinate & very real. The narrator gave this story life. Highly entertaining.

For any Nordic fans
Loved the characters, loved the plot, loved the humor. Not quite a Nesbo, but a must for Nesbo/Larsson fans
