Jussi Adler-Olsen's internationally bestselling Q series returns with Redemption, a gripping treat for all fans of the Scandinavian crime thriller.

'For those suffering withdrawals from The Killing' The Times
__________

A letter in blood, a horrifying disappearance. . .

Two boys, brothers, wake up tied and bound in a boathouse by the sea. Their kidnapper has gone, but he'll be back. They cannot escape . . .

In Copenhagen's cold cases division Carl Morck has received a bottle.

It holds an old and decayed message, written in blood.

It is a cry for help from two boys. Is it real?

Who are they and why weren't they reported missing? Can they possibly still be alive?

He needs to find out, and fast . . .

Praise for Adler-Olsen:

'The new "it" boy of Nordic Noir' The Times

Reviews
Grippingly different * The Times *
This is your methadone if you enjoyed The Killing and found it overwhelmingly addictive * BBC Radio 2 Claudia Winkleman Arts Show *
A weighty and disturbing novel . . . with an ingenuity as impressive as it is unnerving * Independent *
