Message in a bottle

Volume 3 of Department Q

ABOUT THE BOOK

In a far corner of Scotland, a bottle was forgotten in a windowsill for a long, long time. Inside the bottle was a barely readable note: the only two things that were certain were that the first word was the Danish word for HELP and that it was written in blood.

Carl Mørck and his assistant Assad find themselves drawn into a scary case of cults and disappearing siblings, whose parents have never reported them missing.
