The Shadow Murders: The bestselling crimes series that inspired the hit Netflix show DEPT. Q, starring Matthew Goode: Department Q
Autor Jussi Adler-Olsenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 sep 2023
O sinucidere banală în prezent. Un caz nerezolvat din 1988. Între ele, o prăpastie de trei decenii pe care Jussi Adler-Olsen o umple cu o tensiune insuportabilă. Observăm cum Departamentul Q este aruncat într-o cursă contra cronometru unde inamicul nu este doar un criminal invizibil, ci și timpul însuși. Găsim în The Shadow Murders o structură narativă fragmentată de realitatea pandemiei, unde măștile și distanțarea socială devin obstacole fizice în calea dreptății. Totul pornește de la intuiția lui Marcus Jacobsen: moartea unei femei la împlinirea vârstei de 60 de ani nu este un act de disperare, ci o piesă dintr-un puzzle macabru. Carl Mørck, Assad, Rose și Gordon descoperă un tipar terifiant: la fiecare doi ani, un „accident” perfect executat elimină o victimă. Dacă The Keeper of Lost Causes v-a captivat prin claustrarea și izolarea victimei, această carte extinde experiența în direcția unei vânătoare de amploare, unde criminalul a reușit să rămână nedetectat timp de treizeci de ani prin precizie chirurgicală. Spre deosebire de temele din Guilt, unde trecutul traumatizant era o povară individuală, aici trauma este sistemică și repetitivă. Simțim presiunea penultimului capitol din serie; mizele sunt mai mari ca niciodată, iar echipa este împinsă la limită. Este un roman polițist despre acumularea răului și despre cum umbrele trecutului pot sufoca prezentul dacă nu sunt scoase la lumină la timp.

Descriere
'Quirky, tense and delightfully unpredictable' Sunday Times
'The best author around' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reader review
On her 60th 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. It's a tragedy to be sure, but the cause of death seems to be clear.
But his superior, Marcus Jacobsen, is convinced that this is not in fact a suicide, but a murder related to an unsolved case that has been plaguing him since 1988.
Carl and the Department Q gang - Rose, Assad, and Gordon - reluctantly begin to investigate. However, they quickly discover that Marcus is on to something: Every two years for the past three decades, there have been unusual, impeccably timed deaths with connections between them that cannot be ignored.
Faced with their toughest case yet, made only more difficult with COVID-19 restrictions and the challenges of their own 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.

On her 60th 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.

At Marcus' behest, Carl and the Department Q gang-Rose, Assad, and Gordon-reluctantly begin to investigate. However, they quickly discover that Marcus is on to something: Every two years for the past three decades, there have been unusual, impeccably timed deaths with connections between them that cannot be ignored. As they dig deeper, it transpires that these "accidents" are in fact murders by a very cunning and violent criminal.
Faced with their toughest case yet, made only more difficult with COVID-19 restrictions and the challenges of their own 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.
