The Keeper of Lost Causes (Kvinden i buret)

As fans of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” and “The Killing” can attest, there’s no place like Scandinavia to find the latest and greatest in hardboiled crime drama. After a shootout leaves one partner paralyzed and the other dead, former chief detective Carl Mørck finds himself exiled from the homicide department to a desk job in Department Q, where he is tasked with processing and quickly closing cold case files. But the first case to come across his desk proves too tantalizing to write off, so the tenacious Mørck hits the streets with his assistant Assad to investigate the supposed suicide of a prominent female politician whose body vanished without a trace. Their quest for justice leads to a sinister discovery in this gripping and finely crafted Nordic noir, a tense mystery full of twists.
