Carl Mørck used to be one of Copenhagen’s best homicide detectives. Then a hail of bullets destroyed the lives of two fellow cops and Carl—who didn’t draw his weapon—blames himself. So a promotion is the last thing he expects. But Department Q is a department of one and Carl’s got only a stack of Copenhagen’s coldest cases for company. His colleagues snicker but Carl may have the last laugh because one file keeps nagging at him: a liberal politician vanished five years earlier and is presumed dead. But she isn’t dead … yet. Darkly humorous propulsive and atmospheric The Keeper of Lost Causes introduces American readers to the mega-bestselling series fast becoming an international sensation.
