Highly recommended." - Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine " The Marco Effec t works, because Marco is a compelling hero, the villains are truly odious, and Mørck and his quirky, savvy subordinates ultimately carry the day." - Booklist "If you like the dark humor, wisecracking, and layered betrayals of Raymond Chandler, then read Adler-Olsen's Department Q series." - Men's Journal, Praise for The Marco Effect "This series goes from triumph to triumph…This is the best book I've read in 2014 so far.
