the keeper of lost causes by jussi adler olsen

It is a cry for help from two young brothers, tied and bound in a boathouse by the sea. Detective Carl Mørck holds in his hands a bottle that contains an old and decayed message, written in blood. Because Kimmie has secrets that certain influential individuals would kill to keep buried… as well as one of her own that could change everything.Ī Conspiracy of Faith is the third book of the Department Q series by Jussi Adler-Olsen. Kimmie has mastered evading the police, but now they aren’t the only ones looking for her. Looking into the supposedly solved case leads him to Kimmie, a woman living on the streets, doing whatever she can to survive. But once Mørck has his own look at the files, it becomes evident that all is not what it seems. So he’s naturally intrigued when a closed case lands on his desk: A brother and sister were brutally murdered two decades earlier, and one of the suspects – part of a group of privileged boarding-school students – confessed and was convicted. Carl Mørck is happy to work on cold cases. The Absent One (aka Disgrace) by Jussi Adler-Olsen is the second book in the Department Q series. 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 Department Q is a department of one, and Carl’s got only a stack of cold cases for company. So a promotion is the last thing on his mind. Then several bullets destroyed the lives of two fellow cops, and Carl – who didn’t draw his weapon – blames himself. Carl Mørck was once one of best homicide detectives Denmark had to offer.
