The murder of young twins initially implicates a group of upper class students as the killers, though the case takes a turn or two from its starting point.
"Department Q: The Absent One (Fasandræberne) is another gripping chapter in the acclaimed Nordic thriller series based on the books by Jussi Adler-Olsen. Here, the investigation into the brutal murder of young twins, which occurred years ago, takes detective duo Carl Mørck and Assad into a dark world of abuse and privilege, where the elite try to hide dangerous truths.

For those who enjoy intelligent detective stories, with complex characters and increasing tension, this is a sure bet."
