Carl Mørck is out! After spending a year in prison for a crime he didn't commit, he resigns from the Special Department Q. His successor is the tough, mysterious Frenchwoman Helena Henry from Lyon, who appears in the basement of the Copenhagen police and puts her feet on Carl's desk. Rose hates the new colleague from the very first moment, while Assad is somewhat confused by this fascinating woman. The fact that Helena carries a dark secret makes it even harder to trust her as the new colleague. However, a brutal series of murders leaves no room for such considerations. The team must act quickly, as the killer's motive lies deep in the past. And it is powerful. Yet, it is Carl who provides the team with the first hot lead—one that traces back decades to a singing boarding school where terrible things happened.

“Dead Souls Don’t Sing”: The eleventh case for Special Department Q in Copenhagen is a breathtaking thriller about the toxic power of humiliation and the long reach of revenge.
