Title: Mercy - Jussi Adler-Olsen - book
Summary :
Why has Merete Lyyngaard been languishing in a cage for years? Why are her torturers so relentless in their pursuit of the young woman? Five years earlier, the sudden disappearance of the woman who embodied Denmark's political future had caused much controversy. But, lacking clues, the police had closed the case. Until the intervention of the unlikely Carl Mørck and Hafez el Assad of Department V, a sidelined cop and his assistant of Syrian origin. For them, there was no cold case... Winner of the most prestigious Scandinavian awards, Jussi Adler-Olsen's thriller, Inspector Mørck's first investigation, is a true global publishing phenomenon.
