Product Description

The downloadable, digital audiobook edition of Jussi Adler-Olsen's sensational new thriller, read by the actor Steven Pacey.

Two boys, brothers, wake tied and bound in a boathouse by the sea. Their kidnapper has gone, but soon he will return. Their bonds are inescapable.

But there is a bottle and tar to seal it. Paper and a splinter for writing; blood for ink. A message begging for help.

In Copenhagen's cold cases division Carl Morck has received a bottle. It holds an old and decayed message, written in blood. It is a cry for help from two boys. Is it real? Who are they and why weren't they reported missing? Can they possibly still be alive?

5.0 out of 5 stars Redemption 5 Stars 21 July 2013

By Amazon Customer

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I had read the two previous books in this series, Which I enjoyed immensely, and would recommend. The wait for this book was worth it. I have enjoyed every page, the characters are funny, serious and so very human. The story is intriguing and flows from the finding of a bottle. I will say no more than this about the story, I recommend that you read it, it's a real page turner. I am definitely a fan of Jussi Adler-Olsen. I am going to read the first two books again, but REDEMPTION is a winner

5.0 out of 5 stars SOS to the world... 21 July 2013

By FictionFan TOP 100 REVIEWER VINE VOICE

Format:Paperback

When a bottle is washed up on a beach in Scotland, it is found to contain a message, mostly obliterated by time and damp, but with the Danish word for 'Help' still clearly showing at the top. This might have been dismissed as a joke except that the bottle also contains traces of blood. The age of the message marks this as a cold case, so it falls to the head of Copenhagen's Department Q, Carl M�rck, and his team to investigate. Enough of the message can be deciphered to suggest that it relates to a kidnapping, perhaps worse. But the case isn't as cold as Carl thinks, as the kidnapper is just about to repeat his crime...

This was my first introduction to Jussi Adler-Olsen and I was very impressed. The story is told in the third person from a variety of viewpoints, and in the past tense. (Hurrah! Am I the only person who's tired of every second book being in the present tense these days?) The author manages to create a good mix of humour mixed in with some really nail-biting suspense. There are some great action scenes, fast-paced and tense, together with some slower but no less interesting passages where Adler-Olsen lets the reader see inside the heads of the main players. His characterisation is very strong, both of villain and victims, and some of the scenes are quite harrowing, though he steers clear of being too graphic for the most part. Contrasted with this is the humour around the odd mix of people who make up Carl's team and family. It took me a while to get tuned in to these characters and some of them are undoubtedly a bit too eccentric to be quite realistic. However as I got to know them better, they grew on me - particularly Carl's main sidekick, his Syrian assistant Assad, who provides much of the book's humour. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Thriller 15 Sep 2013

By Mr. K.J. Lovatt

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This author is fantastic. Loved his first book in the Department Q series, second one not as good, but this one well up to standard. A gripping, hard-to-put-down thriller with plenty of gore!

4.0 out of 5 stars Redemption = A Conspiracy of Faith= Redemption 7 Sep 2013

By juck

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

It's the same book....two titles. Working my way through all Jussi A-D's books which I find clever and witty. Exciting with out being so turgidly gruesome as some of the Scandi thrillers. And I find i've already ready the latest arrival. What a disappointment. Don't make the same mistake.Redemption (Department Q 3)A Conspiracy of Faith (Department Q Novels)

5.0 out of 5 stars Redemption 31 Aug 2013

By J. G. Spry

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

Thoroughly enjoyed this Danish crime novel. I like the technique of disclosing a small part of each thread of this multi-layered story and moving on. It kept the suspense going to the end of the book. It pulls no punches in the description of events. Well worth buying.

4.0 out of 5 stars A slow-burning but intense crime novel 29 Aug 2013

By A Common Reader TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE VOICE

Format:Paperback

A bottle washes up on a Scottish shore, containing a faded and sea-damaged piece of paper. A messages is partly decipherable and the messages eventually finds it's way home, via various police connnections to it's native Denmark, and in particular into the hands of Carl Morck, the head of Danish police department Q3 who specialise in unsolved cases.

Carl has an interesting assortment of people working for him, not least the eccentric Assad, who takes it upon himself to try to piece together the wording of the half-destroyed message. Slowly, a story emerges from the message of someone in terrible danger, captured, bound and abandoned to a terrible fate. Through other scenes, the author let's us know that the same scenario has happened many times before, and we learn that a precise replica of the crime from many years ago is actually happening now, with the victims in equal danger.

The details are horrific - a deeply damaged man with an incredible talent for deception, who has taken it upon himself to seek revenge for his own hideous upbringing by wreaking death and destruction on innocent children. Some of the passages are painful to read, but this is perhaps the whole point of Scandi-crime like this - what is the point of pulling the punches and letting the reader guess what is going on when you can spell it out in all it's awfulness?

But the book is not bleak - far from it. Carl and his team provide much amusement. They gainfully struggle with their dreadful office accommodation and wind each other up by all sorts of personality clashes and eccentricities. Carl himself is an interesting character who's own demons pop up from time to time and leave him struggling to retain his mental equlibrium. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars Just as good as the others 26 Aug 2013

By Justine Carroll

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have read all three in order and they have been really good. Olsen is a proper story teller and his characters are all misfits but together they are like a family. These books work for me on many levels and they all have a cliff hanger of an ending in true adventure story style. The books are really difficult to put down.
