Story4.5 out of 5 stars 46
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.

When Bruce Jansen ascends to the White House, he is a changed man, determined to end gun violence by any means necessary. Rights are taken away as quickly as weapons. International travel becomes impossible. Checkpoints and roadblocks destroy infrastructure. The media is censored. Militias declare civil war on the government. The country is in chaos, and Jansen's former friends each find themselves fighting a very different battle, for themselves, their rights, their country... and, in Doggie's case, the life of her father, who just may be innocent.

When a young woman is found brutally murdered in her own apartment with an intricate pattern of lines carved into her face, Copenhagen police detectives Jeppe Korner and Anette Werner are assigned to the case. Soon, they establish a link between the victim, Julie Stender, and her landlady, Esther de Laurenti, who’s a bit too fond of drink and the host of raucous dinner parties with her artist friends. Esther also turns out to be a budding novelist - and when Julie turns up as a murder victim in the unfinished mystery she’s writing, the link between fiction and real life grows.

Publisher's Summary
In the heart-pounding next installment of the New York Times and number one internationally best-selling 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 body only as Victim 2117 - the 2117th refugee to die in the Mediterranean Sea. But to three people, the unnamed 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 troubled Danish teen Alexander, whose identity is hidden behind his computer screen, the death of Victim 2117 becomes a symbol of everything he resents and the perfect excuse to unleash his murderous impulses in real life. For Ghaalib, one of the most brutal tormentors from Abu Ghraib - Saddam Hussein’s infamous prison - the death of Victim 2117 is 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 the family he assumed was long dead.
With the help of the Department Q squad - Carl, Rose, and Gordon - Assad must finally confront painful memories from his years in the Middle East in order to find and capture Ghaalib. But with the clock ticking down to Alexander’s first kill and Ghaalib's devastating attack, the thinly spread Department Q will need to stay one step ahead of their most lethal adversary yet if they are to prevent the loss of thousands of innocent lives.

A bit reluctant, but happy that I listened to this
I am a huge fan of department Q, but I have to admit that I was a bit reluctant to purchase this book. Like Carl, I was not certain that I wanted to discover the secrets of Assad's past. I love the postive outlook, camel joking Assad of previous novels, and I was afraid to see him in another light.
But in the end, I did buy the book. Graeme Malcolm is amazing as always. The story took a while to get into, unlike previous books. But once I adjusted to the different pace and mulitple storytellers, I became hooked. The pace of the book really picked up in the final half, and I stayed up an hour past my bedtime to discover the conclusion.
Asssad's past is very dark and I have come to terms with that. I look forward to how he will appear in the next novel.
Not as many camel jokes in this book, which for some crazy reason I miss.

Best of the series
Wonderfully paced and action-packed, with the endearing characters of department Q facing seriously weird bad guys . And just the right touch of humour, perfectly rendered by Mr Malcolm the narrator .

Assad’s story revealed
This was a fast paced telling of Assad’s back story interwoven with a current second story. I learned a lot of things I didn’t know and liked the tour into Germany as well. Terrific narration as always!

So disappointed
I love Jussi Adler-Olsen. I get so excited when a new story comes out. But this one was just...boring. The story lines did not hang together in any way. It seemed like just words to fill up a page. Save your money.
