The Keeper of Lost Causes: The First Department Q Novel: 1 - Softcover
Book 1 of 8: A Department Q Novel
Synopsis
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.

She was going to look after herself. For them she was the woman in the cage, but she was the one who decided how far apart the bars would be. She would think thoughts that opened out onto the world and kept madness at bay. They would never break her. That's what she decided as she lay there on the floor, her shoulder throbbing fiercely and the swelling around her eye forcing it closed. Someday she would get out of here.
