Department Q plot
Carl Morck is a brilliant cop, but a terrible colleague. His razor-sharp sarcasm has made him no friends in the Edinburgh police force. After a tragic shooting, Carl becomes the sole member of Department Q: a new unit for old, unsolved cases. The department is a publicity stunt to distract the public from the failings of the police force. But more by accident than by design, Carl forms a gang of drifters with everything to prove. When the icy trail of a prominent official who disappeared a few years ago starts to heat up, Carl immediately gets to work.
