Description
The New York Times and internationally bestselling author returns with an astonishing and sinister case for Department Q
All fifteen-year-old Marco Jameson wants is to become a Danish citizen and go to school like a normal teenager. But his uncle Zola rules his former gypsy clan with an iron fist. Revered as a god and feared as a devil, Zola forces the children of the clan to beg and steal for his personal gain. When Marco discovers a dead body—proving the true extent of Zola’s criminal activities—he goes on the run. But his family members aren’t the only ones who’ll go to any lengths to keep Marco silent . . . forever.
Meanwhile, the last thing Detective Carl Mørck needs is for his assistants, Assad and Rose, to pick up a missing persons case on a whim: Carl’s nemesis is his new boss, and he’s saddled Department Q with an unwelcome addition. But when they learn that a mysterious teen named Marco may have as much insight into the case as he has fear of the police, Carl is determined to solve the mystery and save the boy. Carl’s actions propel the trio into a case that extends from Denmark to Africa, from embezzlers to child soldiers, from seemingly petty crime rings to the very darkest of cover-ups.

      • content: Graeme Malcolm's mature, comfortable British voice suits the world of Danish policeman Carl M¿rck as he battles authority and life in general as head of Dept Q--cold cases. Malcolm is also believable as Carl's two disparate assistants, a Muslim immigrant named Assad and a Goth named Rose. The story is well plotted as it weaves the financial fraud of an African aid project with the plight of Marco, a gypsy boy who is forced to pickpocket for a modern-day Fagin. After a slow build, the twists and turns are constant. Malcolm's characterizations never slip, even though he must juggle Congolese boy soldiers, gypsies, and Eastern Europeans, as well as Danes. Although this is the fifth in the Department Q series, it can be listened to and enjoyed by those new to the series. C.A.T. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine

        June 30, 2014
        In bestseller Adler-Olsen’s engrossing fifth Department Q mystery (after 2013’s The Purity of Vengeance), a high-level manager of a financially troubled Copenhagen bank embezzles funds intended for an African village’s relief. Meanwhile, a clever 15-year-old gypsy, Marco Jameson, desperately wants to escape from a life in which he’s forced to beg and steal by his tyrannical uncle, Zola, head of the local gypsy clan. On the night Marco attempts to flee, he discovers a buried corpse, much to Zola’s displeasure. Afraid that Marco’s discovery may be revealed to the police, the members of Zola’s clan decide to track Marco down. When Det. Insp. Carl Mørck, the head of Department Q, part of Copenhagen’s homicide division, resurrects a cold case, Marco crosses paths with Mørck and his colleagues. The resulting investigation takes all of them on a roller coaster ride through Copenhagen’s seedy underbelly. The interplay of personalities in the police department adds color.
