More about the book
The newspaper labels the body as Victim 2117, the 2,117th refugee to perish in the Mediterranean Sea. However, for three individuals, this unnamed victim represents much more, triggering a series of events that plunge Department Q, Copenhagen's cold cases division led by Detective Carl Mørck, into a perilous and personal investigation. This case not only uncovers dark secrets from the past but also poses deadly risks for the future. For troubled Danish teen Alex, hidden behind his computer screen, Victim 2117 symbolizes his resentment and serves as the catalyst for his violent impulses. For Ghallib, a brutal tormentor from Abu Ghraib, the victim's death initiates a long-planned terrorist plot. Meanwhile, for Department Q's Assad, Victim 2117 connects to his buried past and the family he thought was lost. With the support of his team—Carl, Rose, and Gordon—Assad must confront painful memories from his Middle Eastern years to track down Ghallib. As the clock ticks toward Alex's first kill and Ghallib's impending attack, Department Q must outmaneuver their most dangerous adversary yet to avert the loss of countless innocent lives.
