This is a true “page turner.”  I was reading as fast as I could to get to the climax of this excellent thriller.

479 pages5 starsSince he joined the Department Q team, Assad has always been a somewhat mysterious person. He never speaks of his past. He is always upbeat and energetic.This book tells the story of Assad’s past. It is scary, harrowing and very sad. When Assad’s past comes back to haunt him, Carl quickly gets involved. They must travel to Germany to further investigate the case.A couple of subplots are present. Carl’s girlfriend has announced her pregnancy - at age fifty-one! It could be very dangerous. It sure is scary.Also, a young man called Alexander has fixated on one of the reported victims of the ongoing Cyprus boat life. She is called Victim 2117. Alexander plays an online video game and has decided that when he reaches win number 2117, he will kill his parents and then set about causing mayhem in the city of Copenhagen.Assad knows who Victim 2117 is. She sheltered him and his family when they were running from Saddam Hussein’s henchmen. There is a significant backstory to Assad’s and Hussein’s foremost henchman, Ghaalib. Ghaalib is out to get Assad at any price. And the price he has named is awfully and astoundingly high. Assad is a mess. It’s a good thing he has Carl at his side.Rose has rejoined the team and she and Gordon are handling Alexander’s case. Who is this boy? Will he really kill his parents and others? How do they find him?This book is very close to being non-stop action. It was wonderful to learn about Assad’s past. But it was pretty awful and hard to read. I was so glad that Rose rejoined the team. I have to admit that I wasn’t sure about her at first, but I like her now. It will be interesting to see how Assad’s life changes now. I have read all of Mr. Adler-Olsen’s Department Q books, and I have liked them all very much.Now, to wait for the next one.

    Assad's backstory, at last
  

*by G***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2021*

All of Jussi Adler Olsen's novels featuring Detective Carl Morck and his Department Q Team (Copenhagen's cold case squad) are very good, but the last two, The Scarred Girl (2017) and now Victim 2117 (2020) are a cut above the rest, because they focus on members of the squad.  The Scarred Girl focused on Rose, Carl's efficient and outspoken assistant.  (She is the scarred girl of the title.)  And now, in Victim 2117, we finally get what we have been waiting for since the first book:  the backstory of Assad, Carl's right-hand man.  And it is even more horrifying than I ever imagined.  We, and Assad, learn that Assad's family, whom we have assumed to be dead, are in fact still alive.  They are captives of a man from Assad's past who is using them as pawns in a deadly game to wreak vengeance on Assad.  Some reviewers have criticized this book for having a far-fetched plot, particularly in regard to one of the secondary characters, and for being short on action.  The first may be true to an extent, but I don't think it matters; the story of Assad, his family, and the enemy who is out for revenge on Assad, is heart-rending and gripping.  Yes, the plot is a little slow developing, but this is partly because Assad's enemy is very deliberately laying out the pieces of a puzzle to get Assad's attention and then draw him into a deadly trap.  In order to figure out what is going on Assad and Carl must travel from Denmark to Cyprus and finally to Germany, where Assad's enemy and his terrorist colleagues are waiting, planning to even both personal and political scores.  This may not be the cup of tea for some Department Q fans, but I was not let down at all.  I can't wait for the next book in the series to find out how everyone is coping after the events at the conclusion of this one.
