The third installment in Jussi Adler-Olsen s bestselling Department Q series, "A Conspiracy of Faith" follows Detective Carl Mørck and his assistant Assad as they investigate a decades-old message in a bottle that leads them into a harrowing case of child abductions and religious fanaticism. Translated from the Danish by Martin Aitken. First published in Denmark in 2009 as Flaskepost fra P. This U.S. edition was preceded by "The Keeper of Lost Causes" (2011) and "The Absent One" (2012), and was followed by six more novels in the series through 2024. The series continued with "The Purity of Vengeance" (2013), followed by "The Marco Effect" (2014), "The Hanging Girl" (2015) originally published in Danish as Den Grænseløse "The Scarred Woman" (2017), "Victim 2117" (2020), "The Shadow Murders" (2022), and concluded with "Locked In" (2024), the final volume in the Department Q series. Four Department Q novels were adapted into Danish-language films between 2013 and 2018: "The Keeper of Lost Causes" (Kvinden i buret, 2013); "The Absent One" (Fasandræberne, 2014); "A Conspiracy of Faith" (Flaskepost fra P, 2016); and "The Purity of Vengeance" (Journal 64, 2018). These films were released theatrically in Denmark, where they were major box office hits, especially "The Purity of Vengeance", which became the highest-grossing Danish film of 2018. In the United States, the films were not released theatrically in wide distribution but became available through streaming services, where they developed a small but loyal U.S. audience among Nordic noir fans.
