A Detective's Reluctant Resurrection
In the basement of Copenhagen Police headquarters sits a broken man. Detective Carl Mrck was once sharp, respected, and effective. Now, after a shooting that left his colleague dead and another paralyzed, he's a shell-chronically late, impossible to work with, and haunted by shadows he can barely acknowledge. The physical scar where a bullet grazed his temple is nothing compared to the psychological wounds festering beneath. When his superiors create "Department Q" to investigate cold cases "deserving special scrutiny," it's not a promotion but exile. The political initiative comes with five million kroner, though his bosses plan to divert most funds elsewhere. Carl is effectively being put out to pasture, expected to idle away his days with forgotten files. Yet something unexpected happens when he encounters the five-year-old disappearance of Merete Lynggaard. As he examines the brilliant politician's case, inconsistencies in the original investigation irritate him. The detective who could see connections others missed gradually reawakens-not with enthusiasm but with annoyance at the sloppy work of others. His resurrection accelerates with the arrival of his mysterious assistant Assad, whose enthusiasm and unconventional methods both irritate and intrigue Carl. Together, they form an unlikely partnership that will challenge Carl's cynicism and potentially offer redemption for the guilt he carries.
