Publisher's summary

THE NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR

WINNER OF THE GLASS KEY AWARD

In this heart-pounding installment of the No.1 bestselling Department Q series, a terrifying international investigation reveals the complex backstory of one of the department's own - the enigmatic Assad.

The newspaper refers to the dead body only as Victim 2117 - the two thousand, one hundred and seventeenth refugee to die in the Mediterranean Sea.

But to three people, the victim is so much more, and the death sets off a chain of events that throws Department Q, Copenhagen's cold cases division led by Detective Carl Mørck, into a deeply dangerous - and deeply personal - case: a case that not only reveals dark secrets about the past, but has deadly implications for the future.

For a troubled Danish teen, the death of Victim 2117 becomes a symbol of everything he resents and is the perfect excuse to unleash his murderous impulses. For Ghallib, a brutal tormentor from the notorious prison Abu Ghraib, the death of Victim 2117 was the first step in a terrorist plot, years in the making. And for Department Q's Assad, Victim 2117 is a link to his buried past and to the family he assumed was long dead.

A great series from Jussi Adler-Olsen with excell

A great series from Jussi Adler-Olsen with excellent narration by Steven Pacey. This episode in the adventures of Carl Morck and the odd characters in Department Q, the cold case department at Police headquarters in Copenhagen, is a must read. Amid the usual wry sarcasm and entertaining back stories this book becomes a genuine page turner as Assad's past and former identity emerge and his family is found to be in mortal danger. This one went straight into the top tier of my library.
