Das Sonderdezernat Q ermittelt weiter! Eine der erfolgreichsten Thrillerserien der Welt geht in die zweite Staffel Carl Mørck ist raus! Nachdem er ein Jahr lang unschuldig im Gefängnis verbracht hatte, quittiert der den Dienst im Sonderdezernat Q. Als Nachfolgerin taucht die toughe, geheimnisvolle Französin Helena Henry aus Lyon im Keller der Kopenhagener Polizei auf und legt die Füße auf Carls Tisch. Rose hasst die neue Kollegin vom ersten Augenblick an, Assad ist einigermaßen verwirrt von dieser faszinierenden Frau. Dass Helena ein dunkles Geheimnis mit sich herumträgt, macht es nicht leichter, ihr als neuer Kollegin zu trauen. Doch eine grausame Mordserie lässt keinen Raum für solche Überlegungen. Das Team muss handeln, und zwar schnell, denn das Motiv des Mörders liegt weit zurück in der Vergangenheit. Und es ist stark. Doch ausgerechnet Carl liefert dem Team die erste heiße Spur – die Jahrzehnte zurück führt, in ein Sängerinternat, in dem Entsetzliches geschehen ist … »Tote Seelen singen nicht«: Der elfte Fall für das Sonderdezernat Q in Kopenhagen ist ein atemberaubender Thriller über die toxische Macht von Demütigungen und den langen Atem der Rache.

In the exhilarating penultimate thriller of the New York Times and #1 internationally bestselling Department Q series, the team must hunt for a nefarious criminal who has slipped under the radar for decades. On her sixtieth 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 since the cause of death seems apparent. However, his superior, Marcus Jacobsen, is convinced that this is related to an unsolved case that has been plaguing him since 1988. At Marcus's behest, Carl and the Department Q gang—Rose, Assad, and Gordon—reluctantly begin to investigate. And they quickly discover that Marcus is onto something: Every two years for the past three decades, there have been unusual, impeccably timed deaths with connections between them that cannot be ignored, including mysterious piles of salt at the scenes. As the investigation goes deeper, it emerges that these "accidents" are in fact part of a sinister murder scheme. Faced with their toughest case yet, made only more difficult by COVID-19 restrictions and the challenges of their 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.

Czy ratując siebie, zdecyduje się wydać stryja i pogrąży tym samym zamieszanego w sprawę ojca?

Doch als sich seine Frau von ihm trennt, verändert sich alles ... „Du bist ein solcher Langweiler, Lars! Verschwinde aus meinem Leben!“ Das war es dann. Mit diesen Sätzen hatte seine Frau ihn vor die Tür gesetzt. Vorbei. Irgendwas hatte Lars wohl nicht mitbekommen. Was war mit seiner Ehe passiert? Ein Langweiler? Er?! Hatte seine Frau einen anderen? So einen mit perfekt geschnittenem Bart? Langweiler ... das tat nicht nur weh. Es führte am Ende auch dazu, dass Lars zum Auftrags-Mörder wurde. In diesem Kurzkrimi erzählt Jussi Adler-Olsen mit viel schwarzem Humor, wie Lars immer mehr Aufträge bekommt und immer mehr Geld verdient. Doch bald ist die Polizei dem Mörder auf der Spur. Kann Lars ihr entkommen?

Černočerný obchodní nápad a mrazivě záhadná vražda V povídce Malé pikantní vraždy se setkáváme s Larsem Hvillingem Hansenem, který vede v podstatě obyčejný život. Až do chvíle, kdy ho opustí žena a on sám se navíc ocitne ve finanční tísni. Lars tak musí zvážit všechny možnosti. Naštěstí dostane senzační obchodní nápad! Vypozoruje, že ženy dokážou někdy mluvit opravdu otevřeně: se svým kadeřníkem nebo s nejlepší kamarádkou klidně probírají, jak se nejlépe zbavit manžela. Ano, za přiměřený honorář Lars osvobodí ženy od jejich manželů. Jen přitom nesmí téct krev, a to za žádnou cenu. A úspěch se dostaví — Lars si slušně vydělává, poptávka je vysoká a jeho metoda nenapadnutelná. Pak se však stane něco, co podstatou jeho nového dvojího života zásadně otřese… V povídce Škvíra si autor pohrává s motivem druhé světové války, kterému se věnuje například i v sérii o oddělení Q. Pointu možná odhalíte mnohem dřív než hlavní postava, avšak postupné, skvěle promyšlené rozplétání příběhu vás pobaví a snad i trochu vyděsí. Povídka vás navíc rozhodně pobídne k zamyšlení. Ukazuje totiž víc, než by se na první pohled mohlo zdát.

Intanto, in un parco di Copenaghen viene ritrovato il cadavere di un’anziana signora, mentre qualcuno al volante di un’auto in corsa si lancia all’inseguimento di una ragazza. Carl, il fido Assad e una Rose a mezzo servizio, impegnati in un nuovo cold case di difficile soluzione, dovranno lottare per impedire che la Sezione Q venga smantellata e per porre fine alla serie di crimini che sta scuotendo Copenaghen.

La consueta pennichella mattutina di Carl Mørck nel seminterrato della centrale di polizia di Copenaghen viene bruscamente interrotta dalla telefonata di un collega di Bornholm, la più orientale delle isole danesi. Da diciassette anni l'ispettore Christian Habersaat cerca senza successo di far luce sulla morte misteriosa di una ragazza, che gli apparve allora su una strada di campagna, appesa a testa in giù tra i rami di un albero. La Sezione Q, specializzata in casi irrisolti, è la sua ultima speranza. Burbero e svogliato come al solito, l'ispettore Mørck è riluttante ad accollarsi un nuovo caso. Ma quando, poche ore dopo, lo stesso Habersaat muore in circostanze drammatiche, si sente in dovere di precipitarsi nella remota isola del Mar Baltico insieme ai suoi due stravaganti assistenti, Rose e Assad. In quel luogo lontano dal mondo, la Sezione Q al completo dovrà indagare su personaggi dalla volontà d'acciaio e dalle incredibili doti manipolatorie, disposti a tutto pur di raggiungere i loro fini e difendere i loro interessi. Sette dai riti esoterici, guru carismatici e ragazze troppo ingenue: l'immersione della squadra più anticonformista dell'intero corpo di polizia nelle acque torbide di un'inchiesta costellata di misteri e false tracce porta alla luce il marcio ben dissimulato della società danese contemporanea.

La voce distorta proviene da un altoparlante piazzato da qualche parte nel buio: "Buon compleanno, Merete. Oggi sono centoventisei giorni che sei qui, e questo è il nostro regalo per te.
