Den grænseløse

Jussi Adler-Olsen

In the middle of his usual hard-won morning nap, with his legs on the desk in the basement of police headquarters, Carl Mørck, head of Department Q, receives a call from a colleague from the Danish island of Bornholm.

“Well, yes, I am sorry to bother you, but perhaps you have time to listen to me.” But Carl is dismissive when he realizes that a new case is being foisted on him, and in the other end the receiver is quietly put down. Only a few hours later, the consequences have become completely unpredictable and Carl’s headstrong assistant Rose is more furious than usually.

Under much pressure he leads Department Q into a seventeen year old and extremely tragic case of a young, fun-loving woman who disappeared from her school and was found killed hanging in a tree. The very down-to-earth Carl is now facing a difficult and mysterious case, while a skilled manipulator with an iron will protects itself and those around it by all available means and refuses to let anyone or anything get in the way.
Throughout the investigation, encountering uncompromising, alternative environments, Rose, Assad, Carl and newcomer Gordon are challenged in all sorts of ways, while old cases and secrets threaten to topple the foursome. Læs mere
