Složka 64 – Adler-Olsen Jussi (2014)

Abuse, coercion, and mistreatment were part of the everyday life of women deported to the Danish island of Sprogo even forty years ago. For some, life there offered unlimited power, but for most, it caused suffering. A similar fate befell Nete Hermansen, who managed to escape the island. At least she thought so. Her case will become one of the most challenging in the investigations of Department Q. What does her past hide? How did she end up on the island? Where did the people around her go? And who is behind it all? Stubborn assistants Asad and Rose force their boss Carl Morck to reopen an old case. However, they soon discover that this is just a small part of something much larger. The worst possible abuse of power, which is still ongoing. Meanwhile, Carl is dealing with his own problems — an old death case from 1978, when Carl's uncle drowned under mysterious circumstances. The investigation, which was ultimately closed due to lack of evidence, had two main suspects: cousin Ronny and Carl Morck himself. Jussi Adler-Olsen's books are published in thirty-six languages. In his native Denmark alone, more than two million copies have been sold, and in Germany, sales have exceeded three and a half million books.
