Everything can change in an instantThis seems to be the overwhelming message left by author Jussi Adler Olsen in his 2007 novel The Keeper of Lost Causes published in English in 2011 with a translation from Danish by Lisa HartfordEverything changed for detective Carl Morck in an instant when he and two colleagues were shot during an investigation One of his fellow police officers was killed and the other was injured for life in a horrific and traumatic event that has scarred Morck forever after He is about as wounded and psychologically messed up as a crime fiction protagonist can be and that seems to be a prereuisite for such characters in the dark world of Nordic NoirAdd to this that Morck is a particularly abrasive and unlikeable person to begin with and that helps to explain Morck s surprise when he is promoted to head up a new crime unit devoted to solving cold cases Turns out the move was politically motivated to take advantage of some appropriated funds while also shelving a problematic detective Not born yesterday Carl figures out how the wind has changed and at first settles comfortably into his basement digs to wait out the next twenty odd years until retirement by playing Sudoku and napping on the clockA new hire to his department consisting of two people actually wants to do some police work and so the two choose one of the dozens of cold case files and get to work So begins Adler Olsen s introduction of his Department seriesA plausible and seemingly interesting enough premise coupled with the Scandinavian crime fiction theme and this looked like it was headed in all the right directions But Morck was annoying than wounded and I found myself thinking about Harry Hole or Kurt Wallander Now those are damaged cops you can follow Half the time especially in the dreary sub plot about his home life I wanted to go Vito Corleone on his whiney ass slap him and tell him to ACT LIKE A MANAdler Olsen used a narrative structure where he switched perspectives between Morck and the victim in a crime case and following the victim was appealing than Morck s detective work Until Adler Olsen went overboard and her story turned into a weird sadistic melodrama Still looking back on the book I felt closer to this storyline than with Morck sOverall I must concede that I liked it almost kind of grudgingly Not one of the better Nordic Noir lineups but Adler Olsen is a good writer and this is a good concept for stories

So Stieg Larson has drawn me into the world of Scandinavian sleuths Jussi Adler Olsen has created a wonderfully weird detective in Carl Morck who is so damaged mentally that the Copenhagen police department has deep sixed him in the one man investigative unit Department His job is to thaw out cold cases And he does it brilliantly with the help of a fascinating sidekick Assad a Syrian immigrant with a suitcase of mysterious skills Together they find out what ever happened to a popular politician gone missing I recommend that you throw in your reading time with keeper of lost causes It will not be lost hours Sherry Roberts author of Book of Mercy and Maud s House
