Third book in Department Q:
At the far end of Scotland, right up at the police station in Wick, a scratched bottle had been sitting there for a very, very long time. No one took notice of it, and no one noticed the letter inside. So no one wondered what the half-faded letters HELP might mean.
When Deputy Police Commissioner Carl Mørck is handed the message in a bottle, he thinks it's the result of some crude prank. But as he and his assistant Assad decode more of the letter, they realize that two big boys were abducted in the 90s, and since then the message in a bottle has been the only sign of life they've had from them.
But who are the boys? Why have they never been reported missing? And what has happened to them?
Carl and Assad are drawn further and further into the web of a calculating and cold-hearted kidnapper, and suddenly they realize that the kidnapper is still active.
Message in a Bottle from P is the third volume in Jussi Adler-Olsen's popular series about Department Q. The author won the Glass Key for Message in a Bottle from P in 2010.
