About “The Hanging Girl”

Carl Mørck, head of Department Q, is dismissive when a colleague on Bornholm foists a new case on him, but shocking news leaves his assistant Rose more furious than usual. Department Q takes on a cold case of a vivacious seventeen-year-old girl who vanished from school and was later found hanging in a tree, leading them from Bornholm to a sun worshipping cult.

Praise for “The Hanging Girl”

“All the requisite Adler-Olsen hallmarks are on display here: the easy camaraderie of the investigative team; great moments of humor; and Mørck’s crotchety disposition. It helps to read the series in order, but these books are so good that it’s no hardship to start at the beginning.”
