Former head of Department Q Carl Mørck has retired. That was the plan, at least. So when he comes across a disturbing audio recording, he turns it over to his former colleagues, who are struggling to keep the old department up and running on their own. That is until a new transfer unexpectedly arrives—Helena Henry, a Frenchwoman who throws herself into the investigation with gusto . . . but who may also have secrets of her own.
When the team realizes that the audio recording might shed new light on a supposedly open-and-shut murder-suicide case from years earlier, suddenly everything they thought they knew is called into question. Meanwhile, a spurt of seemingly random violence—an explosion off the coast of Jutland, a young woman shot dead in Copenhagen—leads the Department Q team to investigate a possible connection to a different long-ago dark and sinister event, one that someone has never forgotten.

Critic Reviews
Praise for No Song for the Dead:
“Adler-Olsen’s storycraft is brilliant…Die-hard Carl Mørck fans will applaud this investigation’s familiarly intricate layers and the satisfying evolution of Assad's and Rose’s characters.” —Booklist (starred review)
“As in the other books in this excellent series, the path to resolution is twisted, the theme is grim, and the violence is never sugar-coated…A good Nordic noir with strong psychological overtones.”
—Library Journal
“There’s enough atmosphere and surprise on offer to satisfy series fans.” —Publishers Weekly
Praise for the Department Q Series:
“It can be hard to distinguish Scandinavian crime writers . . . but Jussi Adler-Olsen is a name to know. In a crowded genre, Adler-Olsen is an outlier.”—GQ.com
“Scandinavian crime novels don’t get much darker than Jussi Adler-Olsen’s Department Q police procedurals.”—Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review
“If you like the dark humor, wisecracking, and the layered betrayals of Raymond Chandler, then read Adler-Olsen’s Department Q series.”—Men's Journal
