<b>Get to know the detective in charge of Copenhagen's coldest cases in the first electrifying Department Q mystery from <b><i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Jussi Adler-Olsen</b>.</b><br /><br />Carl Mørck used to be one of Denmark’s best homicide detectives. Then a hail of bullets destroyed the lives of two fellow cops, and Carl—who didn’t draw his weapon—blames himself. So a promotion is the last thing he expects. But Department Q is a department of one, and Carl’s got only a stack of cold cases for company.

But she isn’t dead...yet.<br /><br /> Darkly humorous, propulsive, and atmospheric, <i>The Keeper of Lost Causes</i> introduces American readers to the mega-bestselling series fast becoming an international sensation.
