Second book in Department Q:
In 1987, a pair of siblings are found brutally murdered in a summer house. The police investigation indicates that the murderer must be found among a group of young boarding school students who come from some of Denmark's most wealthy families. But the evidence is not strong enough, and the case is dropped until one of the suspects confesses ten years later that he was behind the murders. This apparently solves the case.
The folder with the case files lands on the desk in front of Carl Mørck, head of the police's Department Q. Carl Mørck is convinced that it must be a mistake, but when he starts digging into the material anyway, he discovers that something is terribly wrong.
Together with his assistant Assad, Carl Mørck begins investigating a case that leads from the wretched shop assistant Kimmie to three of the country's most powerful men, who are desperately looking for her because she has knowledge that can crush them. The manhunt has begun!
The Pheasant Killers is the second volume in Jussi Adler-Olsen's popular and award-winning Department Q series.
