Ninth book in Department Q:
Homicide chief Marcus Jacobsen meets his best investigator, Carl Mørck, in connection with a case that still haunts the homicide chief. A heartbreaking suicide in 2020 reopens the investigation, and soon Department Q is faced with a sinister web of cases growing between their hands. A very special assignment that forces Rose, Assad, Gordon and Carl to move closer together.
The deaths of several prominent figures are interpreted as accidents or suicides, but as Department Q delves into them, an unfathomable pattern points to something far more violent, and everything indicates that another chosen person is about to die.
In a race against time and the difficult corona restrictions, Department Q, with its usual unity and humor, takes up a fierce fight to prevent this man's cruel death. Meanwhile, a completely different case from the past slips towards Carl.
