Jussi Adler-Olsen is Denmark's premier crime writer. His books routinely top
the bestseller lists in northern Europe, and he's won just about every Nordic
crime-writing award, including the prestigious Glass Key Award-also won by
Henning Mankell, Stieg Larsson, and Jo Nesbo. Now, Dutton is thrilled to
introduce him to America.

The Keeper of Lost Causes, the first installment of Adler- Olsen's Department
Q series, features the deeply flawed chief detective Carl MOrck, who used to
be a good homicide detective-one of Copenhagen's best. Then a bullet almost
took his life. Two of his colleagues weren't so lucky, and Carl, who didn't
draw his weapon, blames himself.

So a promotion is the last thing Carl expects.

But it all becomes clear when he sees his new office in the basement. Carl'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 missing
politician vanished without a trace five years earlier. The world assumes
she's dead. His colleagues snicker about the time he's wasting. But Carl may
have the last laugh, and redeem himself in the process.

Because she isn't dead ... yet.
