Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

THE NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR27 MILLION BOOKS SOLDWINNER OF THE GLASS KEY AWARDIn the heart-pounding eighth instalment 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.Praise for Jussi Adler-Olsen's Department Q series:'Everything you could possibly want from a thriller and much, much more' Kirkus'So engrossing' 5* reader review'Adler-Olsen is the new "it" boy of Nordic Noir' The Times'The best author around' 5* reader review'Engrossing' Sunday Express'Left me wanting more' 5* reader review'Gripping storytelling' Guardian'Another gripping read from Jussi Adler-Olsen!' 5* reader review'As impressive as it is unnerving' Independent
