Q6: The Hanging Girl
In the middle of his usual hard-won morning nap, with his legs on the desk in the basement of police headquarters, Carl Mørck, head of Department Q, receives a call from a colleague from the Danish island of Bornholm.
“Well, yes, I am sorry to bother you, but perhaps you have time to listen to me.” But Carl is dismissive when he realizes that a new case is being foisted on him, and in the other end the receiver is quietly put down. Only a few hours later, the consequences have become completely unpredictable and Carl’s headstrong assistant Rose is more furious than usually.
