Tenth book in Department Q:
The ultimate finale. Secrets unfold and are revealed – Department Q is back and pushed to the limit.
Boxing Day 2020. Carl Mørck sits handcuffed in the backseat of a police car headed for Vestre Prison. After 15 years, the violent nail gun case has caught up with him, and charges of drug trafficking and murder threaten to destroy his life and career.
His colleagues at the Copenhagen Police turn their backs on him, and Carl soon realizes that his life is in imminent danger among the inmates, thugs, swindlers, and corrupt officers. But who has put a million-dollar bounty on Carl's head - and why?
While Carl Mørck fights blindly against the unknown mastermind's henchmen, Rose, Assad and Gordon must go against a direct order from the homicide chief and try to unravel the long, intricate threads of the nail gun case.
