<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Detective Carl Mørck and his colleagues Assad and Rose must use all of their resources to uncover the horrifying truth in this heart-pounding Nordic thriller from the #1 international bestselling author Jussi Adler-Olsen.</b> <p/>Carl Mørck holds in his hands a bottle that contains old and decayed message, written in blood. It is a cry for help from two young brothers, tied and bound in a boathouse by the sea. Could it be real? Who are these boys, and why weren't they reported missing? Could they possibly still be alive? <p/> Carl's investigation will force him to cross paths with a woman stuck in a desperate marriage--her husband refuses to tell her where he goes, what he does, how long he will be away. For days on end she waits, and when he returns she must endure his wants, his moods, his threats. But enough is enough. She will find out the truth, no matter the cost to her husband--or to herself...<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>A Conspiracy of Faith</i></b> <p/> "A shattering parable of honest individuals caught up in the corruption of our times."--<i>Publishers Weekly </i>(starred review) <p/> "Adler-Olsen's cast might seem like stock crime-fiction characters at first glance--the curmudgeonly detective, the flighty secretary, the suspiciously resourceful assistant--but in his hands they are unpredictable and entertaining. This series has enough twists to captivate contemporary mystery readers and enough substance and background to entertain readers with historical and literary tastes."--<i>Library Journal </i>(starred review) <p/> "[T]his mix of offbeat departmental politics, puzzling clues, and pulse pounding pursuit delivers the goods."--<i>Booklist<br></i><br><b>More Praise for Jussi Adler-Olsen's Department Q series</b> <p/>"If you like the dark humor, wisecracking, and layered betrayals of Raymond Chandler, then read Adler-Olsen's Department Q series."--<i>Men's Journal</i> <p/>"A tense, pleasurable read."--<i>USA Today</i> <p/>"[A] sordid tale...inspired by actual events during a dark period of Danish history. Ah, but there is more, so much more in this frenzied thriller."--<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"This book is not for the faint of heart, but for readers who enjoy dark humor and wisecracking heroes and heroines, you'll love Department Q."--<i>Suspense Magazine</i> <p/>"It can be hard to distinguish Scandinavian crime writers--there are a lot of them, and their names have consonant clusters and umlauts and all that jazz--but Jussi Adler-Olsen is a name to know. In a crowded genre, Adler-Olsen is an outlier."--GQ.com <p/>"Adler-Olsen merges story lines...with ingenious aplomb, effortlessly mixing hilarities with horrors...This crime fiction tour de force could only have been devised by an author who can even turn stomach flu into a belly laugh."--<i>Publishers Weekly </i>(starred review) <p/>"When your series relies on cold cases, it's not always easy to craft plots that have both historical interest and an air of urgency, but it's something Adler-Olsen is very good at."--<i>Booklist</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jussi Adler-Olsen </b>is Denmark's #1 crime writer and a <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author.
