Synopsis

Detective Carl Mørck and his colleagues Assad and Rose must use all of their resources to uncover the horrifying truth in this heart-pounding Nordic thriller from the #1 international bestselling author Jussi Adler-Olsen.

Carl Mørck holds in his hands a bottle that contains old and decayed message, written in blood. It is a cry for help from two young brothers, tied and bound in a boathouse by the sea. Could it be real? Who are these boys, and why weren’t they reported missing? Could they possibly still be alive?

Carl’s investigation will force him to cross paths with a woman stuck in a desperate marriage—her husband refuses to tell her where he goes, what he does, how long he will be away. For days on end she waits, and when he returns she must endure his wants, his moods, his threats. But enough is enough. She will find out the truth, no matter the cost to her husband—or to herself...

Goodreads review by Anniebananie on November 03, 2018

Man muss dem Buch bzw. meiner Bergwertungen dieses Buches verzeihen, dass es ein Krimi ist und das einfach nicht so sehr mein Genre ist. Dieses Buch befindet sich definitiv außerhalb meiner Lese-Komfort-Zone und dennoch konnte es mich absolut begeistern, aber daher rührt der eine Stern Abzug. Ich moc......more

Goodreads review by Harry on July 16, 2013

Book Review: Ok, if you're looking for the 4th in this series...you'll have to wait until end December of this year. And, if you're totally confused as to the actual title of the 4th: look for The Purity of Vengeance. And, if you're looking for a terrible site, go to Penguin.com, where a search for t......more

Goodreads review by Maria on January 24, 2021

Mais um Petisco Enquanto o complexo emaranhado da trama vai sendo construído, convivemos com o trio excêntrico que constitui o Departamento Q, o que, diga-se de passagem, é de facto um prazer 😊👍 O humor corrosivo do líder do grupo confere alguma ligeireza a uma narrativa que doutra forma seria deveras......more

Goodreads review by Jamie on September 17, 2013

This felt like hard work...Maybe I'm missing something... The book is over 600 pages long. I don't mind long books, however...The actual crime part is probably half of that. The rest seems to be utter nonsense about the various individuals employed by the police and those involved in Carl's life. Th......more

Goodreads review by Choco on October 16, 2024

Lectura anterior en Mayo del 2022. Releído en Octubre del 2024. Creo que ya lo comenté. Este y el primero son mis favoritos de una saga que tengo en mi corazonín. Una tensión tremenda. Una traca final de infarto que no da respiro. El chavalín con la botella que no se expresaba bien, las reacciones de......more


Quotes

“Adler-Olsen, Denmark’s leading crime fiction author, outdoes his outstanding debut, The Keeper of Lost Causes, with his second Department Q novel.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Adler-Olsen has created a wonderful addition to the detective fiction genre in his sleuth….While the book can be read as a stand-alone novel, readers will be unable to resist seeking out and devouring the first and subsequent series titles.” — Library Journal  (starred review)

Praise for The Keeper of Lost Causes:

“The pages fly by as the twisty puzzle unfolds. Stieg Larsson fans will be delighted.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)


“[An] absorbing psychological thriller.”  — Library Journal (starred review)


“Comparisons [to Stieg Larsson] are inevitable and, while he may lack a Salander, Adler-Olsen’s prose is superior to Larsson’s, his tortures are less discomfiting, and he has a sense of humor.”— Booklist (starred review)


“Plan on putting everything else in your life on hold if you pick up this book.” — The Oregonian
