Book description
Jussi Adler-Olsen's Disgrace is the stunning follow up to Top
Ten bestseller Mercy.
Kimmie's home is on the streets of Copenhagen. To live, she must
steal. She has learned to avoid the police and never to stay in one
place for long. But now others are trying to find her. And they won't
rest until she has stopped moving - for good.
Detective Carl M rck of Department Q, the cold cases division, has
received a file concerning the brutal murder of a brother and sister
twenty years earlier. A group of boarding school students were the
suspects at the time - until one of their number confessed and was
convicted. So why is the file of a closed case on Carl's desk? Who put
it there? Who believes the case is not solved?
Carl wants to talk to Kimmie, but someone else is also asking
questions about her. They know she carries secrets certain powerful
people want to stay buried deep. But Kimmie has one of her own. It's
the biggest secret of them all.
And she can't wait to share it . . .
Disgrace is the second terrifying episode in the Department Q
series, following the No. 1 international bestseller, Mercy.
The darkness continues with Redemption, available from Penguin
