Department Q (Broché)

The papers refer to the dead body as Victim 2117 : the two thousand, one hundred and seventeenth refugee to die in the Mediterranean Sea. But for three people, the victim is more than just a number. For a troubled Danish teen, the death of Victim 2117 becomes a symbol of everything he resents and is the perfect excuse to unleash his murderous impulses. For Ghallib, a brutal tormentor from notorious prison Abu Ghraib, the death was the first step in a terrorist plot, years in the making.
And for Department Q's Assad, Victim 2117 is a link to the family he assumed was long dead. The death of Victim 2117 throws Department Q into a deeply dangerous - and deeply personal - case : one that not only reveals dark secrets about the past, but has deadly implications for the future.
