In the exhilarating penultimate thriller of the New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling Department Q series, the team must hunt for a nefarious criminal who has slipped under the radar for decades. On her sixtieth birthday, a woman takes her own life. When the case lands on Detective Carl Mørck’s desk, he can’t imagine what this has to do with Department Q, Copenhagen’s cold cases division since the cause of death seems apparent. However, his superior, Marcus Jacobsen, is convinced that this is related to an unsolved case that has been plaguing him since 1988. At Marcus's behest, Carl and the Department Q gang—Rose, Assad, and Gordon—reluctantly begin to investigate. And they quickly discover that Marcus is onto something: Every two years for the past three decades, there have been unusual, impeccably timed deaths with connections between them that cannot be ignored, including mysterious piles of salt at the scenes. As the investigation goes deeper, it emerges that these "accidents" are in fact part of a sinister murder scheme. Faced with their toughest case yet, made only more difficult by COVID-19 restrictions and the challenges of their personal lives, the Department Q team must race to find the culprit before the next murder is committed, as it is becoming increasingly clear that the killer is far from finished.

Eigentlich ist Lars ein ganz normaler Typ. Er ist verheiratet und hat einen normalen Job. In den letzten Jahren hat er ein bisschen zugenommen. Doch als sich seine Frau von ihm trennt, verändert sich alles ... „Du bist ein solcher Langweiler, Lars! Verschwinde aus meinem Leben!“ Das war es dann. Mit diesen Sätzen hatte seine Frau ihn vor die Tür gesetzt. Vorbei. Irgendwas hatte Lars wohl nicht mitbekommen. Was war mit seiner Ehe passiert? Ein Langweiler? Er?! Hatte seine Frau einen anderen? So einen mit perfekt geschnittenem Bart? Langweiler ... das tat nicht nur weh. Es führte am Ende auch dazu, dass Lars zum Auftrags-Mörder wurde. In diesem Kurzkrimi erzählt Jussi Adler-Olsen mit viel schwarzem Humor, wie Lars immer mehr Aufträge bekommt und immer mehr Geld verdient. Doch bald ist die Polizei dem Mörder auf der Spur. Kann Lars ihr entkommen?
