ABOUT THE BOOK

While Carl Mørck is experiencing personal problems in connection with a homicide case, an assault in Copenhagen sends his stubborn assistant Rose digging in the files of the prostitute Rita Nielsen, a file sitting in a pile of shelved cases in the basement at police headquarters. When Carl and Assad are pressured to take on the case, it turns up suspicious leads to an isolated island to which the government used to deport fallen women and leaving them to their fates. For some it resulted in endless abuse and power, for others it was hell on Earth. Before long, Carl and co. are involved in yet another action-packed drama.
