This is one of my favorite series and this book is amazingly good.

Department Q is back again but without their illustrious leader. Carl Morck has found himself where he always sends the bad guys….behind bars, and set up in such an intricate way there appears there is no way out. Don’t underestimate his coworkers in the Department and those whom are alive today due to his extraordinary detective skills. Together they will band together in a thrilling police drama with enough action to keep you reading long past your bedtime.

Will Carl be exonerated? Will the real culprit be exposed? Tighten your seatbelt!

Highly recommended!

An intricate mystery with several plot lines and a cast of hundreds. This book takes a lot of brain power to keep track of the many threads and characters running through it. Department Q has always been a fascinating part of the police in Denmark. Carl has been imprisoned. From there, we are taken on a long hike to find out what that is all about. Tied up nicely at the end.

Fans of Department Q will enjoy this installment of Detective Carl Morck. Morck is accused of many things and is a sitting duck in prison. He has been framed and now he doesn't know who he can trust.

Locked In is the thrilling final chapter in Jussi Adler-Olsen's acclaimed Department Q series following the journey of Detective Carl Mørk and his team. Over the previous nine novels Mørk has led the cold case division of Copenhagen's police, solving some of the most harrowing crimes with the help of his quirky yet brilliant staff: Assad, Rose, and Gordon.

In this gripping conclusion, Mørk finds himself ensnared in a web of deceit and danger. Arrested on charges framed by long-buried evidence mysteriously discovered in his attic, Mørk awaits trial while behind bars. As he becomes a target for elimination within the prison, the stakes are higher than ever.

Meanwhile, his loyal team at Department Q races against time to uncover the truth and clear his name. Their quest for justice is bolstered by characters from previous cases who come forward to aid Mørk and protect him from the looming threats.

True to the tenor of the series, “Locked In” offers a breakneck pace and thrilling plot twists. Adler-Olsen masterfully ties up all the loose ends from earlier books, delivering a satisfying and dramatic conclusion to the Department Q saga.
