About this listen

The no. 1 international bestselling author

Winner of the Glass Key Award

In the middle of a hard-won morning nap in the basement of police headquarters, Carl Mørck, head of Department Q, receives a call from a colleague working on the Danish island of Bornholm. Carl is dismissive at first, but then he receives some shocking news. Carl then has no choice but to lead Department Q into the tragic cold case of a vivacious seventeen-year-old girl who vanished from school, only to be found dead hanging high up in a tree.

The investigation will take them from the remote island of Bornholm to a hidden cult, where Carl and his assistants must stop a string of new murders by a skilled manipulator who refuses to let anything - or anyone - get in the way.

Perfect for fans of Mick Herron, Tim Weaver and Jo Nesbo.

Again brilliant narration by Stephen Pacey. The author has created brilliant characters that really are are real, in the way that only Charles Dickens could do, in the past.

Great characters

The perfect combination

I bought this for a second time, I had to give up on the original narrator who was dreadful. Steven pacey is perfect for this series, I really enjoyed the book this time round, it's a bit long and could have been edited down, but it's a great story and I love the interplay between the characters.

Re released with Steven pacey
