Department Q solves the unsolvable.

So when a file on the brutal murder of a brother and sister 20 years ago lands on the desk of Detective Carl Mørck, he doesn't understand why.

Because the killer has already been found, and the case is closed.

Why has it turned up on Carl's desk?

And more importantly, who put it there?

Review of 'The absent one' on 'Goodreads'

I would have enjoyed the first book in the series more had I not figured out what the ending was going to be 20% in. The second book was even better. I'm really enjoying the series and can't wait to read book #3. I'm taking a bit of a break to read the Silkworm by J.K. Rowling (writing under alias Robert Galbraith), which seems to be a very similar style book (with a similar hero) in my mind.
