In the heart-pounding new installment of the No.1 bestselling Department Q series, a terrifying international investigation reveals the complex backstory of one of the department's own - the enigmatic Assad.

The newspaper refers to the dead body only as Victim 2117 - the two thousand, one hundred and seventeenth refugee to die in the Mediterranean Sea.

But to three people, the victim is so much more, and the death sets off a chain of events that throws Department Q, Copenhagen's cold cases division led by Detective Carl Mørck, into a deeply dangerous - and deeply personal - case: a case that not only reveals dark secrets about the past, but has deadly implications for the future.

For a troubled Danish teen, the death of Victim 2117 becomes a symbol of everything he resents and is the perfect excuse to unleash his murderous impulses. For Ghallib, a brutal tormentor from the notorious prison Abu Ghraib, the death of Victim 2117 was the first step in a terrorist plot, years in the making. And for Department Q's Assad, Victim 2117 is a link to his buried past and to the family he assumed was long dead.

Jussi Adler-Olsen nació el 2 de agosto de 1950 en Copenhague. Estudió Medicina, Sociología, Historia Política y Comunicación Audiovisual. Antes de empezar a escribir en 1995, realizó trabajos muy variopintos: redactor para revistas y cómics, coordinador del movimiento por la paz de Dinamarca, editor jefe de una revista semanal de televisión y presidente del consejo de administración de distintos consorcios empresariales. Su hobby es restaurar casas antiguas. Gracias a las novelas protagonizadas por Carl Mørck, se ha convertido en el autor de novela negra más vendido de Dinamarca. No es de extrañar, porque esta primera entrega del Departamento Q es una novela absolutamente irresistible para cualquier aficionado al thriller. Se trata de una historia terrible y muy cercana a la actualidad reciente, con unos personajes creíbles y complejos, y un sentido del ritmo y de la tensión que mantienen el suspense hasta el final. La trilogía del Departamento Q se ha convertido en un imparable best seller en Dinamarca y Alemania, antes de iniciar la conquista del resto del mundo. Jussi Adler-Olsen ha recibido el prestigioso premio Glass Key a la mejor novela policíaca del 2010.
