Victim 2117
In the eighth instalment of the Department Q detective series, the author reveals Assad's troubled past
The body of a refugee is found on the shore of the Mediterranean Sea. The newspapers write about him as “Victim 2117”, and his death triggers a series of unexpected events that bring Assad to the brink of collapse. He must face demons from his past, stirred up by articles from a Spanish journalist, while at the same time he and Carl find themselves in a relentless race against time to prevent an inevitable catastrophe in the heart of Europe, planned by an Iraqi terrorist, Ghalib.
We know Assad as a man with a quirky sense of humour who can handle any situation. However, his dark past has remained hidden from us until now. What is his real story?
What the critics say about Victim 2117
Adler-Olsen has perfectly captured what fascinates us about the connection between childishness and cynicism, good and evil.
Weekendavisen
Jussi Adler-Olsen has once again demonstrated how masterfully he can portray evil, gradually building frustration and finally letting it all explode.
Ekstra Bladet
Jussi Adler-Olsen
Jussi Adler-Olsen (born 1950) studied political science and film studies. He has worked as a journalist, editor and publisher. In the Czech Republic, he is known primarily for his series of crime novels about the Copenhagen police's Department Q, the first four instalments of which were made into films and also shown in Czech cinemas. A characteristic feature of the author's style, and undoubtedly one of the reasons for the huge international success of his books, is his distinctive sense of humour, perspective and irony. He also put this talent to use in his latest story, Small, Salty Murders, which was originally published in the collection of detective stories Liv for liv (A Life for a Life, 2011).
