Sometimes you get a second chance ...Carl Morck used to be a good homicide detective. One of Copenhagen\'s best, in fact. Then a bullet almost took his life. Two of his colleagues weren\'t so lucky, and Carl, because he didn\'t draw his gun, blames himself. Now his erratic behaviour is going to cost him his job. It\'s just a matter of time. So promotion is the last thing he expects. Newly created Department Q deals with \'cases of special focus\'. His former colleagues think it\'s a joke - a home for hopeless cases. Carl, leading it, will fit right in. Except that his first case is that of missing politician Merete Lynggaard. She vanished five years ago. Everyone assumes she\'s dead. Everyone assumes it\'s a waste of time. Everyone, that is, except Carl. Because Merete isn\'t dead - at least not yet.
Klappentext:
THE GRIPPING & UNPUTDOWNABLE THRILLER FROM THE BESTSELLING CRIME WRITING SENSATION, PERFECT FOR FANS OF THE KILLING, JO NESBO AND SCANDI NOIR.
She scratches at the walls until her fingers bleed. But there is no escaping the room. She doesn\'t know how long she\'s been there. She vows not to go mad. She will not give her captors the satisfaction. She would rather die.
Copenhagen detective Carl Mørck has been taken off homicide to run a newly created department for unsolved crimes. His first case concerns politician Merete Lynggaard, who vanished five years ago.
Everyone says she\'s dead. Everyone says it\'s a waste of time. He thinks they\'re right.
But she isn\'t dead... yet.
Can they save her in time?
Dark, mysterious and gripping, Mercy establishes Jussi Adler-Olsen as the master of the Nordic thriller.
