A good follow up book to the beginning of the series. New character (to hate?) Rose. Great character development. I MUST READ THE NEXT ONE. In 1987 worden de verminkte lichamen van een broer en zus gevonden in een zomerhuisje in de buurt van Rørvig, in Noord-Seeland. Uit het politieonderzoek blijkt dat de dader gezocht moet worden binnen een groep van kostschoolleerlingen die uit de rijkste kringen van het land afkomstig zijn. Er is echter niet genoeg bewijs en de zaak verdwijnt in de doofpot, totdat een van de verdachten zichzelf aangeeft. Daarmee lijkt het mysterie opgelost. Een aantal jaren later belandt het onderzoek op het bureau van brigadier Mørck, hoofd van de afdeling ‘onopgeloste zaken’ Q. Hij denkt dat het er per ongeluk is terechtgekomen, maar al snel blijkt dit niet het geval te zijn. Hij realiseert zich dat er iets heel erg fout is gegaan... Samen met zijn assistent Assad begint hij een onderzoek dat hen in aanraking brengt met alle lagen van de maatschappij. Van de armste mensen die op straat leven tot de machtigste mensen van het land; de klopjacht is begonnen. Even though I enjoyed getting to know Mørck and Assad better the nasty nature of the vile acts committed by the perpetrators combining sex and violence was very unsavoury and far nastier than what I'm used to reading. I also had believability problems with an investigation being lead by theory rather than evidence, the need for Kimmie to blowup her rail side home and the absence of calling for backup in the final scene. Not the best of Nordic noir but I may yet read further in this series. Morck is investigating a cold case that involves the double murder of a brother and sister. It also book involves a gang (or better yet, a cabal) of several men and one women who went to a private school together. While they were there, they learned that, because of the riches and political power of their families, there were almost untouchable. They soon became corrupt and continued to be so well into their adulthood. They also continued to support each other in their various illegal activities. We follow Morck as he sniffs around the double murder which is, of course, he solves by not exactly following the rules of the police department. He also is given a secretary, Rose, to help him with his work. He protests but is told he has to accept her which he does with his usual lack of grace. The interactions between Morck, Rose and Hafez are hilarious. Another fun read from Jussi Adler-Olsen. no reviews | add a review
