About this listen

THE NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR | 27 MILLION BOOKS SOLD | WINNER OF THE GLASS KEY AWARD

In a Copenhagen park the body of an elderly woman is discovered. Though the case bears a striking resemblance to another unsolved homicide from over a decade ago, the police cannot find any connection between the two victims.

Across town a group of young women are being hunted down. The attacks seem random, but could these brutal acts of violence be related? Detective Carl Mørck of Department Q is charged with solving the mystery.

Back at headquarters, Carl and his team are under pressure to deliver results: failure to meet his superiors' expectations will mean the end of Department Q. Solving the case, however, is not their only concern. After a breakdown, their colleague Rose is struggling to deal with the ghosts of her past - a past seemingly connected to one of the division's most sinister case-files.

It is up to Carl, Assad and Gordon to unearth the dark and violent truth plaguing Rose before it is too late.

Really enjoyed this one and felt it was back on form after the overly long and no as high quality The Hanging Girl which after listening to I gave up on the series as the next title wasn't narrated by Steven which for me was the nail in the coffin for this series. I was then surprised to see these books re-recorded by the original narrator so jumped back in. Next one in the series purchased.

Steven Pacey is back!!!!

This story and overall performance by Steven Pacey is again, first class. Lots of twists and turns, laugh out loud moments and this time, quite emotional if you have been following this series. I can't wait to listen to the next episode. Jussi Alder-Olsen is one of my top authors, and he certainly delivered another fantastic read. Well recommended

Another Amazing Story!

A rollercoaster of characters and crime . as always a deep involved story with fantastic characters, exciting and descriptive as always. this author never lets you down combined with for me the king of all narration Stephen Pacey. His retinue of voices and accents are sublime. This is my third listening of this book over many years and I will follow it up with a couple more I have in my library read by Stephen Pacey. A listening fest.

Brilliant
