The Keeper of Lost Causes features a deeply flawed chief detective
who’s been selected to run Department Q, a new special investigations division that turns out to be a department of one. With a stack of Copenhagen’s coldest cases to keep him company, Carl’s been put out to pasture.  So he’s as surprised as anyone when a case actually captures his interest.

 

A very good bet for European crime fiction fans and a great start to a new series. Dark and scary but with a rather touching ending to a horrific cold case.
