New York:: Dutton,, (2011). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First US printing. The first thriller by this award-winning Danish writer to be published in the US, and the first Department Q Novel. It introduces chief detective Carl Morck, who was one on Copenhagen's best homicide detectives, until a bullet almost took his life and left one of his teammates dead, the other paralyzed. To solve the problem of what to do with him, he is "promoted" to run Department Q, a new special investigations division to take a look at cold cases that turns out to be a department of one (and his assistant/driver, a Syrian immigrant named Hassan). Translated by Lisa Hartford. Definitely worth reading. 395 pp.

Synopsis

The #1 international bestseller from Jussi Adler-Olsen, author of The Absent One —perfect for fans of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Carl Mørck used to be one of Copenhagen’s best homicide detectives. Then a hail of bullets destroyed the lives of two fellow cops, and Carl—who didn’t draw his weapon—blames himself. So a promotion is the last thing he expects. But Department Q is a department of one, and Carl’s got only a stack of Copenhagen’s coldest cases for company. His colleagues snicker, but Carl may have the last laugh, because one file keeps nagging at him: a liberal politician vanished five years earlier and is presumed dead. But she isn’t dead … yet. Darkly humorous, propulsive, and atmospheric, The Keeper of Lost Causes introduces American readers to the mega-bestselling series fast becoming an international sensation.
