New York Times bestseller Jussi Adler-Olsen returns with the second book in his electrifying Department Q series.
In The Keeper of Lost Causes, Jussi Adler-Olsen introduced Detective Carl M繪rck, a deeply flawed, brilliant detective newly assigned to run Department Q, the home of Copenhagen�� coldest cases. The result wasn�� what M繪rck��r readers��xpected, but by the opening of Adler-Olsen�� shocking, fast-paced follow-up, M繪rck is satisfied with the notion of picking up long-cold leads. So he�� naturally intrigued when a closed case lands on his desk: A brother and sister were brutally murdered two decades earlier, and one of the suspects��art of a group of privileged boarding-school students��onfessed and was convicted.
But once M繪rck reopens the files, it becomes clear that all is not what it seems. Looking into the supposedly solved case leads him to Kimmie, a woman living on the streets, stealing to survive. Kimmie has mastered evading the police, but now they aren�� the only ones looking for her. Because Kimmie has secrets that certain influential individuals would kill to keep buried . . . as well as one of her own that could turn everything on its head.
Every bit as pulse-pounding as the book that launched the series, The Absent One delivers further proof that Jussi Adler-Olsen is one of the world's premier thriller writers.
