Narrated by:
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:
“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
