'For those suffering withdrawals from The Killing' The Times
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 . . .
*
Her husband will not tell the truth: where he goes, what he does, how long he will be away. For days on end she waits and when he returns she must endure his wants, his moods, his threats. But enough is enough. She will find out the truth, no matter the cost to him - or to herself.
*
In Copenhagen's cold cases division Carl Mørck 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?
In 2013, the makers of the Stieg Larsson movies and The Killing will bring Jussi Adler-Olsen'sDepartment Q novels, including Mercy, Disgrace and Redemption, to the big screen.

Grippingly different
—— The TimesThis is your methadone if you enjoyed The Killing and found it overwhelmingly addictive
—— BBC Radio 2 Claudia Winkleman Arts ShowA weighty and disturbing novel . . . with an ingenuity as impressive as it is unnerving
—— IndependentAs a page-turner there are few who can match Ruth
—— Colin DexterUnequivocally, the most brilliant mystery writer of our time. She magnificently triumphs in a style that is uniquely hers and mesmerising
—— Patricia CornwellRendell is a great storyteller who knows how to make sure that the reader has to turn the pages out of a desperate need to find out what is going to happen next
—— John MortimerThere are quite a few Ruth Rendells: the doyenne of the traditional English detective novel; the queen of the psychological thriller; the celebrated author of the literary thriller; and her most recent incarnation, as a writer of blackly comic fairy tales set in London.
—— Mail on SundayTo read her nowadays is akin to quaffing a glass of what the fake princess calls ‘TDTINW’ – the drink that is never wrong – champagne. She is exhilarating, makes you giggle yet leaves you with an acidic aftertaste.
—— Evening StandardRendell is excellent on the delicate snobbery of the uneasy territory in between the social classes... The novel’s plot forms a complex web in which power sways back and forth between employer and employed.
—— Belfast TelegraphWill leave the legion of Reacher addicts satisfied but craving for their next fix.
—— Irish IndependentThe most satisfying of all 17 thrillers in the series. The unfolding of events nudges along at just the right rate... toward an authentically gripping climax.
—— Toronto StarSettings don’t come much more Gothic than Wreaking, the derelict, decaying...psychiatric hospital of James Scudamore’s striking third novel
—— Daily MailThis is the work of a writer totally at ease with, and confident in, his powers. A wonderfully assured novel with scope and ambition and with enough of a mystery at its heart to keep the reader hooked till the end
—— We Love This BookWe are left with the characters in our heads for days, and the sense of unease that Scudamore cleverly conjures up
—— Press Association SyndicationA twisted, unsettling tale of family lies and lonely souls
—— ShortlistAn immersion in the physical and psychic ruins of a contemporary Britain which enchants and disturbs, lures and repels. The inner poetry and descriptive mastery of James Scudamore's Wreaking are riches which cannot be forgotten. If you only read one novel in coming times, make it this astonishing and deeply moving chronicle
—— Alan WarnerThis is an impressive work from the critically acclaimed author of Heliopolis
